ISTM it wouldn't be that difficult if whatever updated the archives
stuffed the current time in a file somewhere once it was finished...
BTW, lest it sound like I don't appreciate the work of everyone who
keeps the various sites up, I do. But it hurts our credibility everytime
someone can't get to one of our sites, or the archives are out of date,
or search doesn't work, etc., etc. I know there's been some big
improvements made recently; I'm just hoping that we can get monitoring
setup for everything that's currently not being monitored.
