This is being done now. Github does provide a "post-recieve" hook, but
since I also want to also host a search-able log of the irc channel, i
can easily parse for "<CIA-17>" messages and update the doxygen
generation to make current. For now I'll just host this stuff where it
is and run the daemon here unless otherwise directed by you guys.

Btw, I have an incomplete record of the irc log file(s), if anyone has
a mostly complete history please let me know.

Yes. My this is my intention, as well as to curry *all* information
available to a searchable, cross-reference-able data store... what
ever form that may take. Atm, I think I will use Sphinx for this.

I agree, asciidoc is nice; not to mention man pages need to be cli
accessible. What I can do though, is easily translate your good work
from the repo into the form to be used for all curried information as
I described above.
