Not only on this list, but also in the home-page !

Yes, you are ;). Or, at least, you /should/ be wrong ;-)

Yes :-(

That's strange. I downloaded org-latest.zip on the 20th October
and the commit was: 
Org-mode version 7.01trans commit-4cd56cfa7b93902544acb32848e36ee4004239a3
And it seemed to me that was the latest.

Yes, I did some black magic to have a working org-latest.zip(org-mode/blah-blah)

Uhhh nice! Thanks, Nick, I've learned something new today.

Bastien, would it be possible that the link in the homepage:

For people who cannot use git we provide <a href="org-latest.zip">zip</a> 
or <a href="org-latest.tar.gz">tar.gz</a> snapshot release 
files updated each day
and corresponding to the latest git version.

will point to such page? 

E.g.

For people who cannot use git, the
snapshot release  files, 
corresponding to the latest git version,
are provided <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode.git";>in the git
repository</a>.  Choose which snapshot you want, presumably
the first line in the "shortlog" section and click the 
tar.gz or zip link at the right end.

Pros: we will not have the problems of syncing 

Cons: we will not have the file  http://orgmode.org/org-latest.tar.gz
      one can download directly, in a script...
      but they have to use the browser.

cheers,
Giovanni
