+# An extract is

+# Mir will simply publish a list of file changes. It will produce one
+# file per day. The file will be publicly viewable on the web at
+#
+# /changes/changesYYYYMMDD.txt
+#
+# So on May 28th, 2006, the file name would be
+#
+# /changes/changes20060528.txt
+#
+# The format of the file will also be simple. There will be three
+# columns. First will be the time, then (add/change/delete) depending
+# whether the file is new, has been updated or deleted, and then the full
+# relative path of the file. So an example line would be
+#
+# 2006:01:24T09:08:17 add /en/2006/05/341547.html
+#
+# This will have to be done for HTML files, media files and the include
+# files.
