Here you go:
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: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990321.html
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. http://www.useit.com/alertbox/404_improvement.html
