But, it's not. It'd be a waste to rebuild it everyday. Currently it gets
rebuild every monday. See README.SITE:
# every monday rebuild all, including pdf
30 05 * * 1
/home/perlwww/apache.org/modperl-docs/bin/site_build_force_pdf_inde
x
# update all (only changes/no pdf) every 6 hours
15 6,12,18 * * * /home/perlwww/apache.org/modperl-docs/bin/site_build_index
# update all (only changes and pdfs) once a day
15 0 * * * /home/perlwww/apache.org/modperl-docs/bin/site_build_pdf_index

In that case we should add several other books. My memory is still full
of mountain sites, so only the Slash book comes to mind. But there are
at least several more.
I suggest that we always list the strictly mod_perl books and rotate the
other mod_perl related books. So if they get randomly placed on
different pages and reshuffled once a week that should be fair.

Sure, good idea. I'll do it soon.

No prob.

What I have on my mind is something like this:
- Always have 3 ads,
2 first dedicated for the mod_perl specific books
1 for mod_perl related books
That way we always give priority to the mod_perl specific books. Of
course both groups to use a random alg. to make the choice. So on
different pages there will be different books.

Thank you for that one, I was sure I wasn't seeing the correct rotation! I
confounded the daily one with a full (no PDF) rebuild. My mistake.

Problem with listing all strictly mod_perl books is that there are coming
more of them. With your book coming, we'll have a list of 4 books, + one in
rotation, and that's way too much for a sidebar IMO. I don't want to see
more than 3 books there, so there needs to be some kind of rotation. Maybe
we list the newest mod_perl book on the top, and rotate the two other
places with the rest?
