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

- 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?
I'm really fine with any of the styles. If anybody have stronger feelings either way, speak up.
- Along those lines, but a minor point, I think the selected menu item doesn't need to be a link.
we have discussed that. It should be a link, because it represents only the top level. If you go deep inside the Docs, you have another way out to the top Docs level with the menu. In addition to the breadcrumb.
In any case I don't understand what's wrong with having the selected menu a link? it's of a diffferent color anyway. So visually, you know where you are, plus you have a bonus 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"!!).
So?
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.
Of course, we need more! Please send me more stuff.
- Should the Documentation page give some hints what beginners should read to get started?
could do, probably adding to the index_top.html. patches are welcome.
- 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.
Nuh, you cannot really do that by just offerring your preferences. People choose they preferred ones and then stick to these. I prefer forummath, when it works, otherwise using mark.theaimsgroup.
I guess we could move mark after the mathforum.
(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.
could try, but should make sure not to overspice.
- 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.
patches are welcome :) Thanks for the comments and future patches :)
