yes. definitely.

tasteful. yeah. useful getting started? yeah, one href to 
gentoo org. No, seriousely, you wanna more "getting started"? 
Than hire the documentation team, because upstream apache won't 
maintain "getting started" docs anylonger as a default webpage 
and we did not agree to their current plain'n'ugly "It works!"
page. Once we've set up the server documentation e.g. 
(that one on apache-svn repos that still exists) than yeah, lets
put it up. But for so long? no way. (except for the conditions 
mentioned above).
