Today I went to the Modules page and noticed that only some of the section links work. For example, "Archives" and "App-Themes" work, but none of the Xorg7 or X11 sections work. I click on them and it essentially refreshes the page and shows me the same section list, but with the section I clicked removed.

I tried this out in several different browsers thinking it was due to some sort of blocking, but they all experience the same result.

Let me say that Striker did a phenomenal job putting the Modules page together.
It was much appreciated by many people, especially those not sitting at a Lunar box.

If I understand it correctly, the Modules page is built using a lot of hand crafted code
that exports the moonbase from the subversion repository, and then fossicks through
it to build the dependency lists, etc. Unfortunately when the moonbase repository was
converted from subversion to git, the Modules page got stuck at the last svn commit.

We are aware of the problem. Many people have commented on the passing of the
Modules page in the #lunar IRC channel, and although there are people who know PHP,
or have time to look into upgrading the Modules page generation, or have access to the
machine where it needs to be done, there doesn't seem to be anyone who can do all three.

It is a known problem. We just don't know when there will be a solution.
