Using Confluence 'spaces' for documentation

[E.J. Zufelt]

Good evening,

Having some experience using api.drupal.org can I make a suggestion.

Please make sure that you provide a textual affordance for the selected tab (version) of the api being referenced.  I cannot tell you how many times I've checked the URL to see which version is being referenced.

I know that there are other textual affordances on the page, but making the selected tab actually say selected would be great.

I'm sure that the maintainer of api.drupal.org would be willing to share a list of any publicly available modules used on the site if asked.

Thanks,
