Who would be the people to talk to? (Who set up or runs pharo.org, for example? Does it have Apache in front of whatever app is serving the website, or do web requests hit pharo directly?)

Having launcher.pharo.org would be cool.
Now I do not know how to do such binding.

This is in the same vein as Sean's recent 'Clean up Download Instructions' email.

While updating the Pharo By Example chapter on installing Pharo, we decided to mention the Pharo Launcher project as a convenient way to use multiple images, etc.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, the download link for it is:

https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/Launcher/job/Launcher/PHARO=40,VERSION=stable,VM=vm,label=linux/

(And even then, you have to scroll down to the tiny 'Last Successful Artifacts' section).

That's a bit awkward to put in a book for people to type out, to say the least.

Is there any way we can either:

1) Use an existing URL shortener to link to that
2) Have some Apache-redirected URLs off of pharo.org? Something like pharo.org/launcher/ that would have the download links to the various Launcher builds?


The same also goes for some of the books, by the way. In a later chapter, we link to Pharo for the Enterprise, and we actually type out the link:

Sub-optimal. :)
