I think a "what's new" page is definitely a reasonable thing, though making it for the ports collection alone might be less powerful than simply building an idea of "newness" into the web page build process itself. At the very end of the build, those files which were newer than the others would be assumed to be changed somehow and an special "what's new" index built as the very last thing done. Perhaps you could search for <label> tags in each changed file and build a list of new references that way, I dunno. As our docset grows, having some way to quickly index it by date or content does seem a very reasonable goal. Jordan
