To be perfectly frank, from the tone of your writing I think that
you're new to mailing lists and open source in general. That's ok;
everyone begins at the beginning.

So here's how it works: Apertium is open source, so everyone is free
to run their own webservices providing Apertium. That does not mean
that we have any influence over them: the groups you listed are
separate entities. We can only announce new releases (see below) and
hope that they update.

Thanks for your contributions.

Typing in uppercase is considered shouting on mailing lists. Please
don't shout, we can hear you just fine :)

That the web is 'not up to date' -- that's to be expected, and that's
*what we want*. The version in SVN is a development version: it's
untested. To best present ourselves, we only want the tested, released
versions to be presented to users. For a company such as Prompsit, it
could even be irresponsible to present a development version, as they
may have customers depending on the service.

If you're prepared to do the work involved in preparing a new release,
we'd be happy to help, but otherwise, you'll just have to wait until
someone else is prepared to do that work.

'Send me an offlist email' is usually not the done thing on mailing
lists: we answer in public (and use mailing list archives) so our
answers can be of use to anyone who may be searching for the answer
later (and so to the benefit of the project as a whole), not
specifically for the benefit of the person asking. (On some mailing
lists, if you ask for offlist email, you'll be presented with a set of
consulting rates).
