7 The Sandbox_ is a place to play around, to try out and share ideas. The
8 `sandbox/`_ directory is a part of the Subversion repository but it isn't
9 distributed as part of Docutils_ releases.
11 It's OK to make a mess in the Sandbox! But please, play nice.
13 A project-specific subdirectory should be created for each new project.
14 Any developer who wants to play in the sandbox may create their own
15 subdirectory (suggested name: SourceForge ID, or given name + family
16 initial), but project directories are recommended over personal directories,
17 which discourage collaboration.
19 For more information, please see the `Docutils Project Policies`_. The
20 Sandbox_ is mirrored at the Docutils web site, so the `Docutils Web Site`_
21 documentation applies as well.

43 `docutils-update <infrastructure/docutils-update>`_ is a script that
44 is installed as a cron job on BerliOS.de to automatically update the
45 Docutils `web site`_ whenever the SVN files change. Any .html
46 document with a corresponding .txt file is regenerated whenever the
