I know you would argue "it's not required" but a good deal of the rest of us would suggest it is and/or will be in the coming years. How would you feel if a few of us "took" the docfiles and see if we can come up with a (most likely Bootstrap based) "modern" website? What I mean is if "we" could come up with some system that was mobile friendly and stay in sync with the canonical site that you could provide an "official" link to it from your site?
Sure, and I already link to a Japanese language site that someone maintains.But out of curiosity – what exactly is the problem with viewing www.courier- mta.org from a mobile phone. I just tried it with Firefox mobile, and everything looks perfect. The web site does not use any funky javascript, only simple CSS and HTML. The individual pages are, perhaps, larger than a typical mobile web site page, but because everything is simple, plain HTML, everything renders and scrolls quickly.
But, pretty much everything on the web site is in the git repo, for anyone to grab. /courier/courier/doc contains pretty much the entire website, in Docbook XML. The tarball doesn't package the Docbook source in that directory, only the end result. Consequently, the git repo includes only the Docbook XML, and not any of the generated files.
The only thing that's missing from the git repo is a script that builds download.html from download.php. This can be done, for testing purposes, by creating an empty download.lst file in the same directory, and running the file through php.
