Well, we don't control search.cpan.org, so that's really not something we can help. www.jrock.us doesn't contain the Ruby on Rails docs, so if you go looking for them there, you'll be out of luck. Yes, I know I'm difficult :) However, I think it would be good to keep up-to-date documentation on the Catalyst website. This way we can ensure that things are up to date. With a bit of CSS, we can spice up the look-and-feel also. Eventually we'll want to automate this whenever a new release is tagged (which means that new releases actually need to be tagged ;), but for now, a static site is fine. Also, I think it's time for a homepage redesign. It's nice looking, but there's zero information. ABW thinks it's nice, OK, that's great :) Once that's done, we should start moving stuff from the wiki to a nice-looking static site... even I can't find anything on the wiki, and am always surprised to hear that there's good information there. It's a shame to hide good information, just because a wiki is easy to edit. Anyway, I'll put together a tarball of xhtml'd docs (and CSS) and post it to dev@ ASAP. It will probably be core first, and then a subsection of modules. Here's what my mental picture looks like right now: Main doc page * intro to Catalyst blurb * Catalyst API * Tutorial * Other manual pages * Modules Catalyst API: * (the usual PODs for Catalyst::*) Tutorial: * easily browsable tutorial, probably on a single page (easier IMHO). maybe a LaTeX'd PDF download for reading on the train or whatever. (easy to do with pod2latex) Other man pages: * C::M::Deployment and similar * old advent calendar entires Modules: * Plugins * C::P::Foo -> link to POD * C::P::Bar -> link to POD * ... * Ms * C::M::DBIC::Schema -> link to POD * Cs * BindLex -> ... * Vs * TT/TTSite/etc. -> ... and so on. Finally, I think I'll add a header to each page to make them fit in with the catalystframework.org style, and have links to the mailing list archives and RT on each page (so people can report issues).
