I am hoping to finally transition some of my websites to static sites published directly from org finally!). one thing I would really like is to automatically build menus and perhaps index files based on the directory structure I'm exporting from. So, if I have:

RLG231
|

|--Assignments
| |

| |-- Assignment1.org
|

|--Lectures
|

|-- etc

I would like to have a navigation bar with links to "Assignments" and "Lectures" , and possibly dropdown menus for "Assignment1.html", etc.

What do other people do with their websites?

I have the idea, also, that within the directories I might like to have an "index.org" that looks like this:

* Lectures

This class has lectures. They are really interesting. Here is a list:

#+BEGIN_SRC

this block will output a nicely formatted html list of all the lectures in this directory,

#+END_SRC

I imagine other people have figured this out so I would love to learn from you all...
