Is this an accurate, acceptable summary of the improvements mentioned above: create (as a directory) perl.apache.org/projects/ create (as a directory) perl.apache.org/projects/Apache-Test create perl.apache.org/projects/index.html which would be a placeholder like page that links to perl.apache.org/projects/Apache-Test/index.html (and also possibly to perl.apache.org/projects/Apache-Test/php.html ) move perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html to perl.apache.org/projects/Apache-Test/general.html If weak documentation is better than no documentation, I'm willing to create a content light Apache-Test/php page (I recently moved a legacy will-not-die side project that is written in php to the Apache::Test frame work). That page will contain only a few things from slides from the 2004 ApacheCon Apache-Test/PHP talk (three php.ini configuration lines). So I'd create perl.apache.org/projects/Apache-Test/php.html to hold a few notes from that Apachecon talk. If those tasks above are both reasonably complete and acceptable, I'm willing to do them, if you're asking. Did I miss anything? Jim
