The way you have stored them on
http://docs.exim.org (and the name
itself) seems great for me. But is there any point to keep docs for
versions lower than 4.00 in the same place, knowing these versions are
not supported anymore?
Also I would probably put the most recent versions on the top. I know
this goes against apache directory indexes, but this would save some
time for many people to not have to scroll till the end to find the
latest version. I always find annoying that you have to "search" for
recent versions.
