Oh, Sven, Sven, SvenŠ I absolutely agree that those are really useful
pages. But not one of them says "Download Here" (flashing the "Here", of
course! :))
Well... you asked what _we_ would want to see. Most of the people here
are developers, some of them even core developers, so such answers were
expectable. And I was fully aware that this wasn't the answer you hoped
for ;)
Btw: Do you know where this "S" with accent comes from? I have noticed
this in nearly every mail of you already.
Again, think new, novice user. They're probably smart enough to know how
to configure their browser to download to a known location on their system
(that goes without saying for linux users, but not necessarily windows or
Mac users), and they should know the difference between a compiler and an
ide. But not everyone is going to know or care about daily builds,
patches, trunks, and fixes. They're going to say "Hey, you promised me a
programming language. What's FTP got to do with it?"
Regarding the difference between compiler and IDE I can tell you that
there are many people (even Delphi developers or rather especially
those) that don't know the difference between the two or more concrete
the difference between Lazarus and FPC.

Sven
