You could update the "start.php3" page to include a link to the references
page. Then, it will appear in all developer web pages in the navigation bar.
(This is the improved system that should be much easier to maintain.)

Maybe a few links to some online references:
The SGI STL documentation (very good for STL):
http://www.sgi.com/Technology/STL/
The Microsoft STL page (pretty good in general):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/stl/
Generic C++ links -- in particular the link with the book on how to go from C
to C++. Sorry, I lost it.

I think it's nice to have the links to amazon and bookpool as a service. I
don't think we'll earn anything on them though.

You write that version 1.1 of the STL is used.
I don't think there is any versioning of the STL as such. Rather, we use the
STL as specified in the ISO C++ standard.
Other than that, it's really nice. (I like the converts of the devel-docs. We
should put up the main LyX documentation on the web someday as well.)
