[Caml-list] latest version

[Julia Lawall]

On ocaml.org, it could be more ovious what is the latest version of ocaml.  
This information could at least be at the top of the "Install OCaml" 
page.  Instead, one has to scroll down to the bottom to find "From Source" 
and click on "Download the source for your preferred OCaml release".

Hi, perhaps you could make a pull request by editing the concerned
page on ocaml.org? :)
There's an edit button on each page (the pencil on the top right corner). :)
Cheers,

We discussed how to give more visibility to OCaml releases last September:
  http://lists.ocaml.org/pipermail/infrastructure/2015-September/000537.html
  https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml.org/issues/701

The feature request #701 did not result in a change, but the
discussions were about more invasive change than just adding some
content on one of the pages, so I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect
an external contributor to lead it.

From an "upstream OCaml" point of view, what I would like to have is a
clear description of the process to follow to edit ocaml.org on the
event of an OCaml release. I think the people that know ocaml.org best
should decide on that, and then I'd try to get it done on each
release.

Thanks, I didn't really want to become responsible for this...

I'll work on Issue #701 <https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml.org/issues/701>.
Unfortunately even seemingly small issues sometimes end up taking hours,
which is often more than the volunteers have.

Currently I port the page from caml.inria.fr, which I feel is a duplication
of work. It would certainly be better if the release page could be made
directly on ocaml.org. The relevant directory in the repo is site/releases,
and one simply has to copy a previous page to start, and update the text
and links as appropriate.
