Nice.  I assume that we're at the stage of criticising the design and
not the text/  (I'd like you to use the text I came up with for my 
experiment at http://24.255.234.11/~gnat/modperl/).

I have some questions:

 * why have a splash screen?  They're an incredible waste of time.  I've
   not heard a single word in favour of them.

 * I prefer a nav bar on the left-hand side to tabs.  Does splash handle
   that?  The way the tabs 'nest' is really ugly.

 * blue on blue at the bottom for the http://perl.apache.org/ link is
   almost unreadable

Thanks for making progress on this!

 awesome! :-)

I did have something by the end of last week, just not much.  I'd
hoped to find the time to plug the holes this week, but haven't been
able to.  So here it is, woefully incomplete.

The URL is:

  http://c1853353-a.ftclns1.co.home.com/~gnat/modperl/

I've got:
 * Home page
 * About
 * Download

done.  My plan was to just go through perl.apache.org and move content
into that framework (for instance, success stories and testimonials go
as a page under 'About').

There are some web design To Do items:
 * ensure colors are part of the standard palette (right now they're
   just easy to type in hex :-)
 * contemplate CSS and enforcing standards like all links are in bold.

 Everything is under CVS, and if somebody wants to come and give a
 hand to redo the site, there is no problem to give a cvs access to
 this person.

I'll chew on a new layout and give you something by the end of the
week.  Thanks,
