1) Provide elrav1 in .tar.gz format, rather than "save this file, then
   paste this text into a shell script and run it" format. I've mentioned
   this before.

2) Convert the Great Big HTML File of Everything from this format:

<a href="#tag1"> Tag1 </a>
<a href="#tag2"> Tag2 </a>
<a href="#tag3"> Tag3 </a>
<a href="#tag4"> Tag4 </a>
<a href="#tag5"> Tag5 </a>

<a name="tag1"> Tag1 </a>
<!-- a couple pages worth of text -->

<a name="tag2"> Tag2 </a>
<!-- a couple pages worth of text -->

<a name="tag3"> Tag3 </a>
<!-- a couple pages worth of text -->

<a name="tag4"> Tag4 </a>
<!-- a couple pages worth of text -->

<a name="tag5"> Tag5 </a>
<!-- a couple pages worth of text -->

into several shorter HTML files.

Here's a sample of what I consider a *fairly good* web site:
http://www.strategicon.net/

I do all the authoring on this site, pretty much for free (they repay
me by letting me attend the events for free). No frames, just tables
and a single site-wide style sheet. No forms or scripts of any sort,
except for one strictly optional form where you can pre-register for
the events. (There's a static version of this form; you can print it
out, fill it out by hand, and mail or fax it in.)

Now if you want me to demonstrate proof-of-concept on the elrav1 site
itself, well, actually doing the changes is moderately tedious; give
me a few days to work on it. Envisioning and explaining what the
changes *would* be is fairly simple (see above).
