Matt, Yes, but I gave credit for the original message to the wrong person. Mike Sensney was the first to mention the phrase, and he even provided a link to an article. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02852.html >About the organization.

The menu they have looks like: Title FAQ --> Redirect to Support section About General Contacts Credits News Newsflash State Announce ChangeLog Internet Documents Index openssl(1) ssl(3) crypto(3) HOWTO Source Tarballs Repository Mirror CVSweb Contribution Misc Support Mailing Lists FAQ Related OpenSSL/SSLeay SSL/TLS Toolkits Applications Misc >I think it has some big advantages compared to our site. It may, but I think our main navigation problem is the unintegrated local content links. They drop people into a completely different environment, and it confuses them. Often they can't find their way back to the main page. :-( It may be a good idea to make our Packages page a sub menu of Downloads. Our Mailing Lists page might be more appropriate as a sub menu of Support. Our Announcement and Submit News pages might look better as sub menu items under a new News page. The Web Links title may need to change to Related Sites, or something similar. >Hopefully it wouldn't require any major rewrites. If you're talking about including the sub menus in the pages themselves, I don't think we can do that with phpWebSite.
