Making "Documentation" link available on the very 1st page?

Hi

Is it possible to make Documentation link available on very 1st page at VCL website? If possible it should be on the left pane, where modules links usually displayed after login.
User can click an learn about VCL system before they need to select authentication and/or login to the VCL.

Hi

To be fair, I need to say that the idea wasn't my and most of the work adding this option was done by Mark Craft. I just continued his work, tested it and attached the code.

Please take a look at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-593, which suggests possible solution to add links to VCL login page.

I like the idea of making it easier to get information about VCL.

Dmitri,

I like the idea of having a link to more information about VCL without 
requiring people to first log in to see the link.  However, I think it would 
be strange to only have a single item in the navigation area on the left.  How 
about adding a few information links?  Maybe something like the following:

What is VCL?
Using VCL
Getting Access to VCL

Each would be a link to the Apache VCL site by default, but could be changed 
for individual sites if so desired.

What do others think?

Josh
