Stas has implemented a hierarchical way of limiting searches to parts of
the doc tree.  It's not done, but you can preview at:

  http://hank.org:5000/search/swish.cgi

- Also, I haven't really liked how the hover menu items work -- they seem
to fade away for the hover instead of standing out more.  On my site I
changed the menu hover to be just an underline.  What do people think?

- Along those lines, but a minor point, I think the selected menu item
doesn't need to be a link.

- "What's mod_perl" seems like it should be "About mod_perl" or "What is
mod_perl".  Don't ask me why.  

(AFAIK, I might have recommended What's mod_perl" instead of "About
mod_perl"!!).

Is the plan to add more content to the "What's mod_perl" page?  I could try
to work on that, but the rest of my week is shot.

- Should the Documentation page give some hints what beginners should read
to get started?

- I'm never sure which mod_perl archive to search.  Can the site offer
suggestions?  How about a form for each search engine right on that page?
Kind of a meta-search page.

(Maybe if the search/swish.cgi page returns no results we could do a meta
search on a few of the list archives?? -- kind of like, "Nope, not here.
Want to try Google?" kind of thing.

- How about a cog graphic at the start of the paragraph on the main page.
Be nice to jazz up the home page a bit.  The first two paragraphs start out
lower case m (mod_perl) so maybe that's what it looks a little odd to me.

- What's the thinking about writing in the third person?  The home page
says "you" a lot.  For example, instead of "You can use Perl to manage
Apache" one might say "Manage Apache with Perl" (although "manage" is a bit
vague in this example).

I don't think one way is better than another, but it's less formal saying
"you" and a bit more professional in the third person.
