I like both the clean design and the friendly tone of the content.

I suggest adding a note about the advisability of upgrading to slang-2.1.x for 
slrn 0.9.9.

I'll be keeping a copy of documentation for version 0.9.9 at the URL you give 
in your link, but subsequent updates and experiments will be in the slrn-doc 
project, which I've just taken over: 
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/slrn-doc/>.

I hope to have the project website up and running at the weekend.

If you put a 1px right border on the navigation div as well as a 1px left 
border on the content div, and then shift one of the divs 1px towards the 
other, would it work?

I'll probably be away from 2008-07-10 for at least two weeks. I'll try to have 
at least the Reference Manual and the FAQ ready for you to include before 
then.

Thanks for your work on this.
