This included bringing together all the binary package and source options for different OS's and making them easy to browse and choose. On the homepage we have a number of links that point to the binaries section of our ftp site, to encourage people to upgrade as well as install for the first time. The problem is, most of the binaries we offer in the downloads section don't actually live on our ftp site, so for may people these links are useless and misleading. I propose we change that section of the home page to look something like: Latest Releases 8.3.3: Notes 8.2.9: Notes 8.1.13: Notes 8.0.17: Notes 7.4.21: Notes Downloads RSS | Why should I upgrade? The downside is that this may lead to a couple of extra clicks for people to find what they need. The upside is that the pages they go to will almost certainly have a section for the packages they actually want, and should be more simple and easy to understand.
