This template allows to present a shortcut to all of the latest releases available. You can control which lines to show (except for the first two which always show—the header line and the ''Stable:''). |

The actual links/strings for each line have been extracted from the template in order to facilitate the maintenance. '''To update the infobox''' see the links below, one for each line: |

Revision as of 06:32, 29 July 2010
I'd like the Latest Releases box to be much simpler, and to be consistent from entry to entry. Currently:
- the XO-1 and XO-1.5 tags link to two very different things, certainly not to model specific pages,
- the title links to another quite different thing,
- firmware is placed between stable and development operating system releases,
- there are links to the download directories before the links to the release notes or installation guide.
I think the box should guide users to a page that describes the release, and that page would include download pointers. I'd go ahead and edit, but User:Sj and User:Holt are obviously editing as well, so I'm offering to discuss it first. --Quozl 06:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
