Well less than 1 day doesn't seem too terrible to me :-)

I didn't know about that, because I was still using the older version that is 
in debian (they haven't upgraded because libgit2 is in experimental).

Now I've compiled the new version and had a look.

I am hesitant to use that HTML for various reasons:
- it displays less informations than what I've already implemented
- I need one separate HTML per dive (but that could be fixed)
- can't control or change the look of the website
- it would mean to give up the possibility to ever import data from other 
sources (unless I reimplement the same HTML generation for the other formats).

So I don't think it would be such a great idea, even thou it would make my 
codebase and my life simpler.

This seems like a good idea. I'll think for a decent way to do this and I'll 
get back at you.
