And it should be each to ensure it gets echoed across the mirrors automatically, if it wouldn't already! Back on the RSS feed; I've done similar work in the past that reads directory structures to find new files, to build up a database. (images, in my case, automatically adding products to an oscommerce database when it finds a new one.) Again, it should be straightforward to have a periodic task that scans folders for changes (just a check on the last-modified time since last scan) grabs the description from the .htaccess file above, and appends to an RSS file and even the what's new file if you want. (I still believe that computers are there to save us work - you should only have to upload a file, give it a description, and everything else should propogates to wherever you need it automatically.)
