== Description ==

This plugin will handle requests of the URL /sitemap.xml and will produce XML suitable for submission to the [https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/about.html Google sitemap] service. The sitemap is a way to describe your site's content other than depending on a crawler that follows every link. It's suitable for dynamic sites with lots of different URLs for basically the same content.

The plugin will notify Google by sending a PING request to their site whenever content on your trac has changed. For now, wiki pages are supported in the sitemap, but tickets will eventually follow.
