The sources of the website are hosted on GitHub:
https://github.co ... -octave.github.io

If you prefer to not use Git or GitHub, I could try to make those changes for you. Could you please propose the wording?

If I understand correctly, someone with write access to the actual web server (e.g., Kai) would need to deploy the website after any change in the Git repository.

There is a Discourse thread (https://octave.di ... _to_post_number=2) about finding the public keys necessary to verify the integrity of downloads.

This seems like good public information to put on the Octave website.  I would propose putting it on the Downloads page at https://www.oc ... e.org/download.

I don't have much experience with the Octave web site or I would make the change myself.
