[PROPOSAL] HTTPD Website Suggestion
This isn't about the source code but I thought this could be useful to
somebody on here.
Please find attached a number of files (in tar.gz) that I have made to
help improve the Apache HTTP Server website.
This improvement uses validated XHTML, CSS and images in the PNG format.
It uses (as you can see in the HTML) simple DIV tags, lists and images
to display content, with a CSS backend, instead of using tables and an
apparently inconvenient method of inputting data like the current
website. I have made my best efforts to make the one 'sample' document
easy to edit and fully compliant with W3C standards.
If anybody is interested in using this, or if anybody wants me to help
implement this, please reply to this message.
I am also available to help with any other HTML bits in the server (e.g.
manuals, the default index.html, etc.).
Thanks,
Shaun Evans

Thanks for your suggestion. (I've CC'ed the docs list, because I think it's a
better place to discuss it).
It's actually better to use a CSS based site, but:
- the semantics you've choosed aren't really better. Now it's a div soup
rather than a table soup ;)
- Some time ago, we've choosed to take xhtml strict for the httpd manual, with
clear semantics (You might wanna look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/). I
think, that is the way to go, perhaps with a modified version for the rest of
the website.

Actually, don't do that for a formal submission. Grabbing off-list
content adds extra CLA requirements. Content and patches posted
to this list, unless otherwise noted, is usually covered by the

Have you read the section at the site about contributing?

Please don't do that. A URL for a tar.gz file is much friendlier on
peoples inboxes.
