It is informative. There are quite a few tutorials that I > haven't read before. While you're revamping the website ;-) I'd like to make a small request concerning downloads of older releases. I know that some are still available, e.g. http://orgmode.org/org-5.10b.zip However that requires trawling through the list archives to find the relevant announcement, so it would be great if the full list was available. If you are using a webserver such as Apache which has the ability to generate HTML directory indexes, this would easily be achieved simply by creating a downloads subdirectory, moving all the zip files there, and configuring the webserver to make the directory browsable. In Apache, I think that's: Options +Indexes The reason for asking is that access to historical releases allows us to do things like spot regressions and also correlate items in the Changes webpage with actual code, in order to figure out exactly how things work. Of course, the ideal scenario would be to expose a mercurial or git repository with all the releases tagged, but I don't want to ask for too much ;-) Thanks! Adam
