Well, it was news to me that version 2.5.0 of Website
had been released. I'm glad to hear it, but did I
miss the announcement? 8^)
I was waiting for this release because it includes my
implementation of the new XSL-based version of olink.
Olink is particularly easy to use in Website 2.5.0 because its
stylesheets can generate the target database automatically,
using the webpage id as the targetdoc value. The example
website pages describe how to set it up and use it.
This means it is quite straightforward to link between
your webpages that are generated by Website.
You can also merge in a target database for a set of
documents outside of your webpage collection. Just set
the 'offsite.target.database' stylesheet parameter
to the pathname of your existing olink target database.
This feature lets you link from your <webpage> files to
a larger document set. Typically, it might be used as a
presentation front-end to a document set. You could
do something that before with ulinks, but olinks are
*maintained* links. They can even generate the link text.
There are a couple of fixes needed to 2.5.0, including a bit
more doc on this feature. Expect a Website 2.5.1 soon.

Website DTD is an wonderfull tool. I really like it, but:
Why is the contained catalog.xml never in sync with the rest. I know
this from 2.4.1. In 2.5.0 it is the same.
Look at this:
<!-- Website DTD locations -->
<group xml:base="schema/dtd/"
id="website-dtd"
prefer="public">
<public
publicId="-//Norman Walsh//DTD Website V2.4.0//EN"
uri="website.dtd"/>
Opening website.dtd you can see there:
Common declaration:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE webpage
PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Website V2.5.0//EN"
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/website/2.5.0/schema/dtd/website.dtd";>
