Dear all,

I found the "Status" section on the Fink webpage a bit confusing. It says that 
Fink 0.9.0 was released on 25 June 2008, and that this version is intended for 
10.5 users. New users don't know that Fink 0.9.0 is a binary release, and that 
there are much more recent source releases. At a first sight, they may think 
that Fink development has ceased, which of course is not the case.

I would suggest to mention the source release before the binary release in this 
section. In fact, since we hadn't had any binary release in more than three 
years and that the binary version works on 10.5 only (which makes the source 
install the de-facto standard method for fink installation), I wonder if we 
should mention the binary release in this section at all.

Best,
Sébastien
