primarily todo with sisu documentation, changelog reproduced below:

* start documenting sisu using sisu
  * sisu markup source files in
    data/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/
    /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/
  * default output [sisu -3] in
    data/doc/manuals_generated/sisu_manual/
    /usr/share/doc/manuals_generated/sisu_manual/
    (adds substantially to the size of sisu package!)

* help related edits

* manpage, work on ability to generate manpages, improved

* param, exclude footnote mark count when occurs within code block

* plaintext changes made

* shared_txt, line wrap visited

* file:// link option introduced (in addition to existing https?:// and
  ftp://) a bit arbitrarily, diff here, [double check changes in sysenv and
  hub]

* minor adjustments
  * html url match refinement
  * css added tiny_center

* plaintext
  * endnotes fix
  * footnote adjustment to make more easily distinguishable from substantive
    text
  * flag -a only [flags -A -e -E dropped]
    controlled by modifiers --unix/msdos --footnote/endnote

* defaults, homepage
  * renamed homepage (instead of index) implications for modifying skins,
    which need likewise to have any homepage entry renamed
  * added link to sisu_manual in homepage

* css the css for the default homepage is renamed homepage.css (instead of
  index.css) [consider removing this and relying on html.css]

* ruby version < ruby1.9
  * place stop on installation and working with for now [ruby String.strip
    broken in ruby 1.9.0 (2007-09-10 patchlevel 0) [i486-linux],
    2007-09-18:38/2]
  * debian/control restrict use to ruby > 1.8.4 and ruby < 1.9

+1. REMOTE SOURCE DOCUMENTS
+.BR
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+processing instructions can be run against remote source documents by
+providing the url of the documents against which the processing instructions
+are to be carried out. The remote
+.B SiSU
+documents can either be sisu marked up files in plaintext .sst or .ssm or;
+zipped sisu files, sisupod.zip or filename.ssp
+
+.BR
+.B .sst / .ssm \- sisu text files
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+can be run against source text files on a remote machine, provide the
+processing instruction and the url. The source file and any associated parts
+(such as images) will be downloaded and generated locally.
+
+
+.nf
+  sisu \-3 http://[provide \ url \ to \ valid \ .sst \ or \ .ssm \ file]
+.fi
+
+.BR
+Any of the source documents in the sisu examples page can be used in this way,
+see <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/2.html> and use the url for the desired
+document.
+
+.BR
+NOTE: to set up a remote machine to serve
+.B SiSU
+documents in this way, images should be in the directory relative to the
+document source ../_sisu/image
+
+.BR
+.B sisupod \- zipped sisu files
+
+.BR
+A sisupod is the zipped content of a sisu marked up text or texts and any other
+associated parts to the document such as images.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+can be run against a sisupod on a (local or) remote machine, provide the
+processing instruction and the url, the sisupod will be downloaded and the
+documents it contains generated locally.
+
+
+.nf
+  sisu \-3 http://[provide \ url \ to \ valid \ sisupod.zip \ or \ .ssp \ file]

+REMOTE DOCUMENT OUTPUT
+.BR
+
+.SH
+2. REMOTE OUTPUT
+.BR
+
+.BR
+Once properly configured
+.B SiSU
+output can be automatically posted once generated to a designated remote
+machine using either rsync, or scp.
+
+.BR
+In order to do this some ssh authentication agent and keychain or similar tool
+will need to be configured. Once that is done the placement on a remote host
+can be done seamlessly with the \-r (for scp) or \-R (for rsync) flag, which
+may be used in conjunction with other processing flags, e.g.
+
+
+.nf
+  sisu \-3R sisu_remote.sst
+.fi
+
+.SH
+2.1 COMMANDS
+
+.TP
+.B \ \-R \ \ [filename/wildcard]
+copies sisu output files to remote host using rsync. This requires that
+sisurc.yml has been provided with information on hostname and username, and
+that you have your \"keys\" and ssh agent in place. Note the behavior of rsync
+different if \-R is used with other flags from if used alone. Alone the rsync
+\-\-delete parameter is sent, useful for cleaning the remote directory (when
+\-R is used together with other flags, it is not). Also see \-r
+
+.TP
+.B \ \-r \ \ [filename/wildcard]
+copies sisu output files to remote host using scp. This requires that
+sisurc.yml has been provided with information on hostname and username, and
+that you have your \"keys\" and ssh agent in place. Also see \-R
+
+.SH
+2.2 CONFIGURATION
+
+.BR
+[expand \ on \ the \ setting \ up \ of \ an \ ssh\-agent \ / \ keychain]
+
+.SH
+3. REMOTE SERVERS
+.BR
+
+.BR
+As
+.B SiSU
+is generally operated using the command line, and works within a Unix type
+environment,
+.B SiSU
+the program and all documents can just as easily be on a remote server, to
+which you are logged on using a terminal, and commands and operations would be
+pretty much the same as they would be on your local machine.
