Congratulations on 10R6! (or is it 10R0?) I look forward to downloading
it soon!
I think you idea for the directory tree as you describe it is good, but I
propose an additional directory, perhaps called 'latest', that includes
links to all of the most current versions of base, tools, and addons. This
way, a new user can download all packages from the same directory, and all
you need to do is upgrade the links that point to the new packages you have
uploaded. All else stays the same.
I know this means a bit more work for you, but it might save a great deal
of frustration to our new users or to those who have very old versions and
wish to download all the latest modules.
Thanks, and keep up the tremendous effort, all of you!
