I would avoid nn/nn/nn for dates, and stick with "Oct 10, 2007"-style
dates.
I don't think a version number is useful, and may even be confusing
for Chandler Hub -- "Uh-oh, I only have Chandler 0.7.x and the Hub is
at 0.8.x -- will they work together ok??"
Was the reversing of "version product date" between server and
desktop around the countdown deliberate?

Moving this discussion over to the General List.
1. The top bar (where currently there is only: Open Source
Applications Foundation) was intended to display 'news items' like
new releases. (See mock-up.)
2. We should probably have release numbers for both Desktop, Hub
and Server, which should take care of Heikki's layout concerns.
3. The lack of a green download arrow for 'Download Server' is
deliberate just as Jeffrey said. (Our problem doesn't seem to be
that people can't find it, but that it's still too prominent for
many end-users!)
We have a longer-term problem however. Since Server/Desktop
releases are no longer in lock-step, what happens when the Server
is at 0.8.1? and the Desktop is at 0.7.8 or vice versa? What do we
display in the top area? I have a proposed solution in the mockup
below. The layout of the release timeline is rather complex, so it
might need to be a graphic.

This is much better. Would the date under the timeline be for the
latest
release (0.7.1, in this case)?
