OK, good :-)

> doing so, and I'd like to quickly check what the latest version is".
> Currently, you have to go to the download link, navigate to the right folder,

OK, I add this information back (other frameworks do that too so I guess
there's a good reason for it anyway). It will be a big button with the version
number inside, next to the "get started" button, so it solves the two things at
once. I will let you guys handle the versioning update (not too much of a pain
by hand anyway).
Thanks for relevant feedback, I'll post here when it's done.

> I've been experimenting a bit in the last couple of days over the Jena
> website and documentation. You can see a live demo version of the result
> here: http://loopasam.github.io/jena-doc/index.html
> My motivation was to try to make the overall browsing experience a bit
> clearer and nicer looking without disrupting too much what's already in place.
> I have refactored some of the skeleton and CSS using Twitter Bootstrap. I
> haven't changed any of the build mechanism (ASF-CMS), so pretty much all the
> documents and pages are working just as before out of the box.
> Before doing more work on this I wanted to know what the community thinks of
> it and whether it could be integrated with the current code.
