Hi All,

There are a number of fairly public things on fenicsproject.org which are
horribly out of date:

* The front page of the website has a big "Download FEniCS 1.0.0" button
and "Recent project news" from 2011

* The download for Ubuntu most naturally points people through to the
default Ubuntu packages, which are 1.0. It is only by happening to click on
"Learn More" and adding the PPA that one would get 1.2

What I am actually doing is writing the FEniCS manifolds paper. The journal
(Geoscientific Model Development) requires us to specify which version of
the software we are documenting (1.2) and provide links. What I want to do
is provide persistent links to version 1.2 and to the current version (with
the intention that readers will go to the current version).

In terms of the current website, I would like to be able to say:

Users are encouraged to employ the current release of FEniCS. This is
available at http://fenicsproject.org/download . Archive packages for
version 1.2 will remain available at
http://fenicsproject.org/download/older_releases.html

Unfortunately, users going to  http://fenicsproject.org/download are
currently quite likely to end up with version 1.0.0 (which is particularly
unfortunate in this case since it doesn't support manifolds) and the list
of packages for 1.2 is not yet on the older releases page or (as far as I
can see) anywhere else on the website.

Regards,

David
