Discussions need to get the use of "I" to stick to a name and the Wiki really doesn't make this easy. I tend to disagree with your assertion that PGP signtures are less important than MD5 signatures. But then again, given how badly connected the PGP keys used to sign most Jakarta releases are, you are probably correct. A signature by a key that hasn't been signed by anybody else isn't much better than a MD5 hash. BTW, I just now realized that we have a couple of releases that are neither PGP signed nor accompanied by MD5 hashes, this should be strongly discouraged IMHO. In particular since Ant supports generation of MD5 hashes since a few years now - and so does Maven. Instead of shortening the section by moving PGP, I'd rather move the whole section to the bottom of the page and just link it from the top (see the Ant page for an example). But this is hardly the only text at the top of the page that could easily be moved in order to make the actual download links more prominent. Thge description of the various types of downloads we provide could appear at the individual sections - so we don't talk about milestone and test builds to people who are really just interested in the "latest thing". We don't need to point to the news page/sites at all IMHO, that's inside the navigation anyway. And people who are interested in announcements will find the mailing list page by following the link in the navigation as well. Finally I'd move the section about archived builds to the bottom as well. Thinking about it, I should probably mock up a design to show what I mean, will do so next week unless I get shot down before 8-) The tabular view you envision may really be more appropriate than the long list we have right now. I wouldn't link the project names to the KEYS files, though, at least to me the connection wouldn't be obvious.
