Short answer - laziness on my part.

Long answer - it's not uncommon in FOSS for pre-release bits to appear
on personal pages.  The guidance is, it is better to release early and
often than it is to release from the better or perfect release
location.

That said :) this is clearly something we can fix and make the
branding better and reduce confusion.

Chris - can I get shell access or something?  I'm thinking of:

http://teachingopensource.org/Practical_OSS_Exploration/0.8/

... with a single landing page at tos.o/P_OSS_E/ that links to
releases and highlights the latest version, with versioned
subdirectories under that.

(BTW, "tos.o" is a system administrator habit of shortening frequently
used URLs in discussions.  Just as we abbreviate Teaching Open Source
to TOS, we abbreviate teachingopensource.org to tos.org or even
tos.o.  Similarly, P_OSS_E represents the full directory name and is
not intended as an actual directory name.)
