I will then do as you suggest, fork first, then propose some small changes as pull request. Have a nice Easter sunday!

The “recent news” section is currently just HTML in “home.html” as you say, manually added by people including, over the years, Chris, Derek, and me. The reason for the non-version-dependent links is simply that’s what was added. The GitHub “releases” feature isn’t something PDL really uses, because people get it either from a packaging system, or CPAN. It would probably be “nice” to have it automatically updated (though the obvious “hook” would be a GitHub Action triggered by a tag, as we currently use for Cygwin testing for each release). But the first question to answer would be what would be the benefit to justify the effort? One vast benefit of switching to GitHub Pages for the website is that it’s easy for anyone to fork the repo and pull-request an update – the previous setup needed an admin to use rsync, which wasn’t very easy. It might make the most sense to open an issue first to discuss any changes (or just email me), but if there are website changes you feel are obvious and just want to go ahead, please do! There is a tiny guide at https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdl/wiki/Developer%27s-Corner#modifying-the-website.

Nice! The page appears to load faster. I have a couple of (potentially silly) questions: - how is the "recent news" feed managed? Is this done manually in the "home.html" page (https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdlporters.github.com/blob/master/content/home.html) ? - links to previous PDL versions in CPAN point to the same address (https://metacpan.org/pod/PDL). Shouldn't it be something like, for example for 2.077: https://metacpan.org/release/ETJ/PDL-2.077/view/Basic/PDL.pm ? - why is the last released version in github 2.026 from feb 2021? Shouldn't it be nice to have it in sync with metacpan? Perhaps there is good reason to do so and I am just not aware of it. If what is needed is manpower to keep these thinks updated and consistent I may be able to help. H. Den 2022-04-15 kl. 18:11, skrev Ed .: Dear PDL folks, Those of you who look at the PDL website every day will already know this. For those who don’t, I have just (hopefully) finished tweaking the website at https://pdl.perl.org/: 1. The astute among you will notice that’s now “https” not “http” 2. It’s hosted on GitHub Pages rather than Sourceforge, so it’s now really fast 3. Also making it really fast and nice to use is Joel’s amazing JavaScript-based update 4. The search now uses MetaCPAN which has a neat autocomplete feature All credit to Joel for his modernisation work; Chris for helping me with the updating of the Sourceforge site; Robert of the Perl NOC for his near-instantaneous help with switching the hosting. I have probably missed some stuff so please have a nose around and open issues on https://github.com/PDLPorters/pdlporters.github.com/issues or use the “Website issues” link in the sidebar (which links to that). As usual, please give the new website a try and report problems.
