    http://drupal.org/project/gsitemap

    I don't know how well it conforms to the standards set on sitemaps.org.
  • Jofaba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just discovered the gsitemap module today and implimented it. One great thing that it did was help me clean up unused nodes by checking out which urls it was going to try and have google index. Made me almost happy that Google's been ignoring my site so far. Now that I've got my robots.txt and sitemap submitted, we'll see how well it really works =)
