Perhaps we could use /news and /news/<lang> ?

Assuming symlinks is probably not a good idea.  If we're GOING to
assume symlinks then you might need to create a "build_tree.sh" in the
top level that builds all the symlinks you need in order to get the
proper configuration.

I don't know.  Only Linas can answer that.  I've put something
in the subject to hopefully gather his attention.

They will be, eventually.  We have not (yet) set up that mirroring.
The current plan is to use a port-knocker to cause an update at every
commit to htdocs.. And then have a periodic script run from cron to
poll in case the port-knocker fails.

I'm not sure what you mean by this question.  I suspect (or hope)
that the whole site would be under the svn control.

I don't know.  That's another question for Linas.
