Definitely (fixed). This is actually a web standard and I should have done it a while ago.

I'm flexible on that point. Does the banner provide something very useful that is worth keeping like that? One issue with frames is that there is less space left for the page content. But I don't have strong feelings one way or the other. > 2) Would the any of the lower level pages benefit from "Top" or "TOC" links - > I bring this up because it is fairly lengthy. That's a good idea. This mainly affects the documentation pages. I just implemented a quick fix: Now all <h1> headers on documentation pages (i.e. NAME, DESCRIPTION, etc) have a "top" link. > 3) Would you consider continuing the dashboard layout for the PDL Tutorials > such that > PDL Tutorials (insert optional icon) > Foundation Intermediate > Advanced > > I suppose that this could be continued for the Help section as well in a > similar manner.

I think it's a sensible idea for the Install page, since it is more consistent with the front page. I am less sure about the Tutorials and the mailing lists (aka Help) pages. Those two pages are very short, do they really need a dashboard? It seems awkward to use top-level links when the entire page fits on the screen anyway. Here is my best attempt at turning the install page into a dashboard: http://pdl.perl.org/future/?page=install I added the extra information for each OS because the page looks very empty otherwise.

I've been trying to keep the sidebar somewhat compact. I'm not saying "no", but give me a day to think about it.
