If the site is still being updated then it doesn't make sense to get rid of it, does it. And can someone on the docs team tell us what the fabled php scripts do? It sure doesn't seem like they're doing much b/c it all seems like static content to me.
PHP is used to build static pages that are pulled from CVS. When a page is updated, we tag it in CVS with LIVE and a cronjob at :15 and :45 pick it up and rebuild the page.
So, there is some script run by cron and a script we use in /cvs/fedora/web/scripts/dotphp2dothtml.sh. The latter's purpose is to take DocBook output HTML and wrap it in the PHP includes that give the f.rh.c theme and navigation.
