+Work is in progress to semi-automate this to still check manually for updates, but maintain the
+l10n as PO files - to allow more translations to more than the few languages I know about myself.
+
+As upstream ikiwiki is now maintained in GIT too, keeping the master mirror in sync with upstream
+could probably be automated even more - but an obstacle seems to be that content is not maintained
+separately but as an integral part of upstream source (GIT seems to not support subscribing to
+only parts of a repository).
