Can you elaborate please?

I'll help any way I can with that. Deal: please provide sample pages for some of the packages (starting with some zc packages perhaps), plus a directory structure in which they should live. I'll put them up on ximinez, at (say) /raw (or /simple, or whatever URL people propose), so that one can experiment with whether they look right. Then somebody else can write a generator to populate that; I will at the earliest point when I have time (which won't be before August), unless somebody does it earlier.
