Migrate all Batteries HTML webpages to Github #660

Sur la page d'accueil du site http://batteries.forge.ocamlcore.org/ (même si le nombre de comment est de 0 en 3 ans - oups -) une petite ligne 'Batteries 2.4 released' (ainsi d'ailleurs, qu'une ligne 'Batteries 2.3 released' ... soyons fous !!! ) remplirait un peu la rubrique 'Latest News' ...

I agree. After looking at http://batteries.forge.ocamlcore.org/ I almost asked "Is Batteries dead?". While I'm not sure Ocaml Forge has a point nowadays (and seems rather dead), that's still the first Google result for ocaml batteries.

I'd recommend declaring that website deprecated and adding a link to whatever the current homepage is.

Thanks for the report and the ping. As a stopgap measure, I published a news on the new release 2.4.0. I am uncomfortable with deprecating the forge as we don't have another webpage other than the github page (and its README). I think the content of the Forge frontpage is actually decent, but we may need to clarify the fact that development happens mostly on github nowadays.

:+1:, but https://forge.ocamlcore.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=928 gives me "Permission denied".

Also, nice to see you here @gasche :smile:

Well, if up-to-date it might not be a problem. Also, right now, the README does functions like a homepage for users (and doesn't point to the Forge webpage), so there seems to be some duplication (where I prefer the README).

Also, I'm not objecting to the content of the Batteries Forge page. But the Forge itself feels dead to me, because

That's just my first superficial impression as an outsider and Ocaml "newbie", so please take for what it's worth (not so much); and I didn't look very deeply into the website.

The forge is being deprecated in 2017, so we have to move the HTML to static github pages -- no big deal. I'm renaming this issue to keep track of this.
