Most of the immediate work is tracking down broken links.  The site had 
become, on the server, a fair mess of files and folders and sym links, 
and swapping out pages was far less clean than it should have been.

I will probably write something to crawl the site and give me a link 
status report that doesn't bury me in the obvious.

Longer-term I need to add a smarter search facility and a version of the 
API docs that allow for user comments;  I've started working with RDog ( 
Nitro/Og application), so if you have knowledge of Nitro/Og/RDog (or are 
interested in learning about these things) then I could use a hand on 
some things.


Thanks,


James Britt
