Cool! Is it just a matter of checking this in and it will work on the site?

No. The current newstyle docs (2.6, 3.0) are static HTML pages.
However, Sphinx can also generate slightly different output which
is then used by a web app that has all the dynamic features for docs
like comments, and among them is also already something like Skip's
"frequently requested modules" list.

I wanted to keep the development docs static, to minimize load on the
docs server, and begin serving the 2.6 or 3.0 docs via the web app as
they are the "official" ones, that is, as soon as one of them is released.

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.

Alas, no.  I wrote this awhile ago when the site was built w/ ht2html.  My
thing is a simple front-end using Myghty.  As Georg indicated in his
response he has some dynamic stuff in Sphinx which will do this and more.  I
suspect once he goes fully dynamic my little hack won't be necessary any
longer, but I missed it, especially with the new layout where less of the
index is visible without paging down.

I got tired of my modindex URL doing the work necessary to process the index
(and thus being a little slower than just going straight to the index
itself) but not seeing the proper anchors in the file which allowed it to
insert the table and rewrite URLs to allow counting clicks.
