Improvement on docs.sun.com

Today the docs.sun.com engineering team has changed its infrastructure to a new environment.
The benefits of this move are:

- Performance Increase:  This change will greatly benefit users who have been frustrated with the time it takes to browse to documents on the site.

- Improved Reliability / Sustainability:  Now the site is in a stable environment and will be more reliable for our customers.

Comments:

Waow...This change is quite impressive, the listing of categories seems much more responsive ! Are you at liberty to discuss the "internals" of this change ? is it hardware based only ? software based ? or both ? Anyway, congrats' to the engineering team, browsing docs.sun.com is now a real pleasure !

There could be one less click if you put a [HTTP] [FTP] links on pages like http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/40.10 instead of having to click "download this book" then choose the protocol. Also, one page that listed all pdf's with sections would be really really handy.

I am also an user of docs.sun.com, I just post the news here to share with you. Different with you, I can publish books on it. I will report your comments and suggestions back to the team. Actually you can "Send comments" to DSC by click the link at middle of right. It will be great if DSC can hear the voice from customer directly.
