Hi Paul, Thanks for continuing to work on this! I would suggest making the conferences and user group events lists dynamic. The original idea was to have a list of recent pecl/pear package updates in the 2x2 grid, but the text that is there fits pretty well. The sidebar would be the next logical place, but if we keep the list of conferences and user group events, it might make the sidebar too tall relative to the body content? Stew
