CTAN Update: skb
This package provides macros that help to build a document repository for long living documents. It focuses on structure and re-use of text, code, figures etc. The basic concept is to first separate structure from content (i.e. text about a topic from the structure it is presented by) and then separating the content from the actual published document, thus enabling easy re-use of text blocks in different publications (i.e. text about a protocol in a short article about this protocol as well as in a book about many protocols); all without constantly copying or changing text. As a side effect, using the document classes provided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from someone who just wants to write articles and books. Updates in v0.52: added moderncv to the supported classes, changed package structure to be compliant with CTAN requirements and added information in the README file.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/skb/ . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/skb (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
