addresses, names of real people, etc.

Moved all the course information that used to be spread through the
text of index.shtml and in quarter.php over to a new course.xml file.
This provides a centralized location for updates, which are then
included in the page bodies and headers for free :).

Tagged locations of example patter and dummy information in the html
directory with "...", so you won't miss any dummy info if you adjust
things near the locations turned up by a
  grep -r '[.][.][.]' html/

it, because most users will not have a contact page in the parent
directory as I do.

announcements.shtml now handles a missing atom.xml gracefully, which I

REAMDE.newbie, which I phrased to be more supportive to the HTML-wary

Began versioning.

This course-website framework developed over the first half of 2009
while TAing for Phys201 (Modern physics for engineers) at Drexel
University.  After a few false starts at versioning, I'm starting this
new repository because I think I've figured out a stable scheme.

When you start a new course, clone this repository to create a working
copy.  Seperate your commits on the clone into course-specific commits
(e.g. Makefile changes when adding homework 2, atom.xml updates, etc.)
and general commits (corrections to README files, additional problem
source in /latex/problems/, etc.).  Then, cherry pick the
course-specific commits back into this repo with
  git remote add phys201 /home/bob/phys201
  git fetch phys201
  git cherry-pick 1d8fb1fe41dfc1b1eb38c7b5d574577c4b341c58
  git remote rm phys201
  git remote prune phys201

The benefit of cloning an independent repo over just starting up a new
branch is that most people don't care about the particular per-course
details, but lots of people may want the framework, and not want to
worry about the disk space needed for all the per-course cruft.

From a more philosophical perspective, this repo will track the history
of 'what you want for building a course website', while the per-course
repos track the history of a particular course's website (and student
grades, TA emails, etc.).
