I have uploaded a new download button in both .xcf (GIMP) and .png buttons for a few different versions to the web repo. Johannes, could you update the link on the main page? > button and "Recent project news" from 2011 The news are auto-fetched from Launchpad every 15 min. If they are out of date, it means someone updated the web pages and forgot to run 'make fetch_news' before pushing. This is bad but it will automatically get fixed within 7.5 minutes on average... Another thing to discuss is how to update the news after the move from Launchpad is completed. > * The download for Ubuntu most naturally points people through to the > default Ubuntu packages, which are 1.0.

In addition to these links, we also need to update all the information regarding the use of Launchpad, user questions etc. -- Anders _______________________________________________ fenics mailing list [email protected] http://fenicsproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fenics
