Maybe blue or green would be less obtrusive but also eye-catching. - example boxes are centered, Related Modules/Directives boxes are not. It looks a little bit strange when they occur nearby by each other. Hm, what about streching the related boxes over the whole page? - Chapter 'Apache Performance Tuning' contains an apppendix, which is well placed there at a single webpage but looks strange in the middle of a big document. I have no sugestion at the moment but want to note it for later reconsidering. - the example boxes at URL Rewriting Guide have no border. It this intended to be? - I don't like the arrows in front of the notes boxes. The idea is fine but I would prefer another arrow symbol. - Would it be possible to have an additional page break only between chapters, not beetween subchapters (i.e. after each xml-document)? - some vertical spaces are very big at "virtual host examples" (e.g. page 151) Bah, there are lots of small things to do, as you said. I will stop my list for the moment. But the document as whole: yeah, I like it. I wouldn't publish it with big words at the moment, but if someone asks for it, I would hand out this version. > - I very much hope that some people are going to give this a try. I don't > want to be the only person who knows how to deal with this stuff. You won't be the only one. Just after I said I want to help you, one of our server machines ran into trouble. Additionally some other problems like hunting ants that are trying to take over my home, which is funny for everyone except myself, kept me from working on tex.
