Hi Hannes, So, here is my left handed pet dwarf turtle, born in December, idea: It doesn't really see the point of scattering boxes all around. One box listing current php5 + php4 version and the current release candidates should be all that we need. The RC links obviously won't be direct links on the tarballs so the user still has a chance of understanding "wth is RC?". The release candidate links will point to qa.php.net/#v5 & #v4 where we'll add a big fat box explaining the concept of release _candidate_. The stable links then point to php.net/downloads.php#v5 & #v4 The only "major" change is how RM will post a new release; this patch expects all current (stable and (if any) rc) in include/version.inc See attached, simplified, patch & screenshot: http://home.oslo.nith.no/~maghan/releases.png We can then provide a Atom+SLE feed with latest versions with direct links to the stable releases and a link to qa.php.net with RCs.... If I am totally off base here, scream :) My right handed pet killer rabbit, born in July, quite likes it :) but noticed that you didn't make that conference/cfp block at the top happen yet...?

Hmh. Yes. Sean asked me to wait for couple of more days to see if he can come up with something better. The patch is actually really dirty because of our weirdo news system. I'm kicking around the idea of replacing it with a Atom feed as primary format which will make parsing into other formats way easier (have you guys seen our rss feed? lol).. but that headache belongs to another thread :]
