You're welcome. Yeah sorry I've been trying to get the word out about the right versions, and it feels like a failure that even a veteran member of this group like you is not aware of https://sites.google.com/site/arclanguagewiki, specifically https://sites.google.com/site/arclanguagewiki/arc-3_1/known-... :/

On the following link:

https://sites.google.com/site/arclanguagewiki/

This link has been very helpful to me in the past and I'm glad it exists. But I do wish it contained only one sentence. The sentence that is the most important one.

What's the most important sentence, something like "don't use arc 3.1, it has a bug, use this stable branch instead"? It's a wiki, please feel free to make changes to it. It might be easier to discuss this using actual changes.

Update: Ok, I've taken a stab at making the biggest gotcha more clear.

Then again, perhaps we should rethink if that page is the best option. I work for Google, but Google sites is a pretty insane beast a lot of the time. For example, there seems to be no way to change the title of the site as a whole; the directions at https://support.google.com/sites/answer/90453 are out-of-date.

Some of us started a site at http://arclanguage.github.io a while ago, and it's now the canonical reference for arc functions. Perhaps we should focus on that. But it's a little bit harder to make changes to; you have to git clone, install jekyll, make changes, commit, git push. On a wiki you can stay within your browser. Do people have preferences?

Either way, we should have one place, and we should decide what the first sentence (in bold) should be.

Yeah, it's really confusing. I have no idea why Anarki is listed as a library. Anyone looking for a starting point would completely overlook it.
