My inclination is to stick with 1.x.x.  It makes the most sense for now (e.g. 
the getting started instructions would be different and it's unhelpful to users 
to maintain both).

Since I don't have edit access [1], Russell, Lars, are you able to make the 
following changes the text on the following page:
http://xenproject.org/downloads/mirage-os-archives/mirage-os-10.html

Title: Mirage 1.x.x  (URL can stay as it is)

MirageOS v1.0 consists of a set of libraries -> MirageOS v1.x.x consists of a 
set of libraries

look at the [Mirage Introduction] on -> look at the [Mirage Docs][2] on

and what the libraries enable you to do. -> and what the libraries enable you 
to do. You should also read the announcement post for the [original 1.0 
release][3], which provides useful background.

[1] I asked before but apparently the downloads part of the CMS is awkward so I 
can't do this myself (c.f email from Lars on 5 Dec @ 2230-ish)

[2] link should be http://openmirage.org/docs/

[3] link should be http://openmirage.org/blog/announcing-mirage10


I hope that all makes sense.

Amir
