new apache home page take 1
http://bong.com/~brian/apsite/
No new look or graphics or anything, I just moved the mirror listing to its own
page (since it was getting extremely voluminous), moved the categories under
the web site to the top, made the categories a table, etc. Overall reduced the
size of the text of the home page from 13K to 3K. Let me know what you think,
silence = consent. :)

Simple. Functional. Looks OK, loads fast even on a dialup.

Sure. Looks ok to me.
Many of the web pages could use a little going over to make them a bit
nicer, in a uniform style of course. Nothing too fancy, but something
functional that has the impression of being less than 3 years old. If
only there existed a person with the time...

Looks good to me. Although I think that someday we should think about
a new look and new graphics. Although the feather is pretty nifty,
I've never liked that yellow bullet, and the Apache web pages are
generally "low-tech" when compared to what passes for good web design
nowadays.
On an unrelated note, I was just reading about Apple's upcoming
OpenStep-based OS, code-named Rhapsody. Apparently they plan to, as
part of the optional UNIX compatibility layer, include a copy of
Apache. Interesting.
