AISTATS 2022 proceedings not available from the main page

The proceedings of AISTATS 2022 are only available via the direct link, and not listed on the main site (https://proceedings.mlr.press/) yet.
Probably just missing a compilation of the main site as the last update (2022-04-25) there is from before the proceedings became available (2022-05-03).

(Thanks for maintaining the proceedings!)

Use of `number` versus `volume` field in (generated) BibTeX output

Dear all,

Thanks for maintaining this awesome institution! I have one—maybe naive and nitpicky—question about the generated BibTeX output: it is my understanding that number should be used since we are dealing with a series. The official BibLaTeX manual on p. 24 mentions the following:

The number of a journal or the volume/number of a book in a series

Whereas for volume, the explanation is:

The volume of a multi-volume book or a periodical.

My question is now whether it would be possible to change this.

Let's take a recent entry as a running example:

@InProceedings{pmlr-v196-hacker22a,
  title = 	 {On the Surprising Behaviour of \texttt{node2vec}},
  author =       {Hacker, Celia and Rieck, Bastian},
  booktitle = 	 {Proceedings of Topological, Algebraic, and Geometric Learning Workshops 2022},
  pages = 	 {142--151},
  year = 	 {2022},
  editor = 	 {Cloninger, Alexander and Doster, Timothy and Emerson, Tegan and Kaul, Manohar and Ktena, Ira and Kvinge, Henry and Miolane, Nina and Rieck, Bastian and Tymochko, Sarah and Wolf, Guy},
  volume = 	 {196},
  series = 	 {Proceedings of Machine Learning Research},
  month = 	 {25 Feb--22 Jul},
  publisher =    {PMLR},
  pdf = 	 {https://proceedings.mlr.press/v196/hacker22a/hacker22a.pdf},
  url = 	 {https://proceedings.mlr.press/v196/hacker22a.html},
  abstract = 	 {Graph embedding techniques are a staple of modern graph learning research. When using embeddings for downstream tasks such as classification, information about their stability and robustness, i.e., their susceptibility to sources of noise, stochastic effects, or specific parameter choices, becomes increasingly important. As one of the most prominent graph embedding schemes, we focus on \texttt{node2vec} and analyse its embedding quality from multiple perspectives. Our findings indicate that embedding quality is unstable with respect to parameter choices, and we propose strategies to remedy this in practice.}

Example with volume

If I use volume, I get the following output:

Example with number

If I use number, on the other hand, I get the following output:

This output seems to be somehow cleaner and less clunky to me, but I admit it's

Example with @article

Notice that this only pertains to the @inproceedings entries; everything looks different of course with journal articles:

Summary

Sorry for this weird question—I would love to understand this phenomenon better; probably I am using BibLaTeX wrong... Feel free to close if this question makes no sense, of course!

Main rss feed generates broken links

The RSS feed of the volumes (http://proceedings.mlr.press/feed.xml) is broken insofar as the links it generates are missing a slash.

For example for the first volume the item is

<item>
<title>v1</title>
<description>Gaussian Processes in Practice</description>
<link>http://proceedings.mlr.pressv1</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://proceedings.mlr.press/v1</guid>
</item>

Instead of <link>http://proceedings.mlr.press/v1</link>.

Since the guid below is correct, it seems that the link is simply missing the prepend: '/' in the /assets/rss/feed.xml` file:

<link>{{ repository.name | prepend: site.baseurl | prepend: site.url }}</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">{{ repository.name | prepend: '/' | prepend: site.baseurl | prepend: site.url }}</guid>

Certificate Issue when accessing via HTTPs

At the moment, it seems that the site has a certificate issue when accessing via HTTPS.

The current certificate seems to belong to www.github.com.

I checked on both Safari and Chrome; they have the same issue. I access the site from Germany.

Link in example `citeproc` is broken

The link pointing towards citeproc examples is broken: https://blog.martinfenner.org/2013/07/30/citeproc-yaml-for-bibliographies/

I think the content can be accessed via: https://blog.front-matter.io/posts/citeproc-yaml-for-bibliographies/

AISTATS 2023 labeled as AISTATS 2003 on https://proceedings.mlr.press/

The homepage at https://proceedings.mlr.press/ has volume 206 labeled as AISTATS 2003 instead of AISTATS 2023
