After reworking the initial design based on the comments I've received,
the next version was release at SourceGarden see
http://modperl.sourcegarden.org/ - it's being created by Site::Builder -
you can retrieve it from the garden's Safari pet:
http://modperl.sourcegarden.org:5676/cvs/-/-/site_builder/

I've checked, all you need are in the archive, the personal posts were to
cheer me up :)

No problem, I'm not trying to put you down, as it happened with me. Just
a suggestion.
I'm very excited about you picking the flag and actually doing the
redesign. Since modperl.sourcegarden.org is a sister site of
perl.apache.org, the two will be tighlty reconnected. We are going to
absorb some of the pages from the current mod_perl site. I'm talking about
3rd party modules, jobs, ISPs, success stories and other. We want to put
them into a DB with web admin interface, by using Jsmes' 'fresh'
application
Will be linked at http://modperl.sourcegarden.org/fresh/
You may see a beta version at: http://modperl.jamesmith.com/
