I wouldn't do that.. some people might be scared off by presenting a
list of files with rather cryptic names and not knowing which one to
choose.
They must just have a button or link saying: Lyx for windows.
Could we use some clever way to automatically let the web/wiki figure
out which package is the latest?
We never had this problem before, because the page is updated after the
files are uploaded to the FTP. But somehow the file did not appear on
the FTP server for anonymous users and Jürgen probably didn't realize
that when he updated the page.
I don't think the change is a good idea. We agreed before that there
should be a link to the standard installer for users who don't know
about the differences between the installers. Experienced LyX users can
click the FTP link and choose which package they prefer.
