Is mod_rewrite available on the webserver? (And ideally mod_spel too)
Is there any chance the webmaster could clean things up so that cgi-bin is
hidden from users?
In case you are wondering why I think this kind of detail is important
Jakob Neilsen provides plenty of reasons and suggestions how to improve
URLs in this article:

There are other things that could be tweaked to make the site even easier
for users that are geussing at Locations, but mod_spel alone would make a
massive difference.
We have a page at
http://inkscape.org/faq.php but nothing at
http://inkscape.org/faq/ or
http://inkscape.org/faq.html
The Inkscape website uses the default Apache 404 messages.
It would be good if we could include the search tool on the 404 page,
and a linkback to the front page. Ideally the 404 page would be styled
and have the standards includes like every other page. This is something
I might be able to help with.

Alan, these all sound like good ideas - why don't you take them on?
I've granted you CVS and shell access.
You can log into your shell account via ssh
shell.sf.net. Our stuff is
in /projects/i/in/inkscape.
The website itself is in CVS in the inkscape_web module. Wiki is stored
in the inkscape_project module.
Go ahead and log in and see what can be done. The amount of configuring
that can be done is limited, but it's worth a shot. The 404 error
message replacement is an excellent idea.
Thanks,
Bryce
