Hi Darton, First, thank you so much for helping review and edit the content. For both the Distributions and the Installation page, I agree that the presence of multiple versions is confusing. I believe we should only link to the latest release, in this case 2.28. (I also think we should list the distros alphabetically to avoid the perception of playing favorites). For installation, I think the original intent of that page was to give an overview for building from source or using jhbuild, not for upgrading / installing GNOME on distros. I think the distro support and unofficial guides should be out of scope for our website. (Copying the marketing list for feedback on this).
