New site comment

[Hamish Rodda]

Hi,

I've been watching the progress with the new site, and I've got to say it's 
looking quite nice.  I think the left menu is a bit wide (esp. the ~26 pixels 
on my screen before the first bullet is rendered) but that's just my personal 
opinion.

The biggest thing I've noticed so far is that many of the links on the left 
which point at directories lack a trailing slash on the URL.  This causes the 
server to send "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" in response, which adds a 
second round-trip to the time it takes to retrieve the url.  I'd suggest 
fixing this to include the trailing slash.

Cheers,

Hamish.
