I would suggest having a uniform navigation set of links across all the
related sites, with a full list of project subdoamins on a 'Projects'
page or similar, which then can list all the known projects which are
linked to via perl.org rather like the oldlists.perl.org site for
mailing lists.

This then helps to promote the other sites consistently across all the
main sites.

I second that. Are users getting bounced around? Looking at the
subdomains they likely have a different audience. Admittedly there will
crossover, but they each have a distinct goal in my view.

Having said that the links could be cleaned up, so that they point to
subdomains and not sub-paths.

BTW are patches meant to be sent to the list? 

Cheers,
