+1 -Original Message- From: Justin Mclean [mailto:jus...@classsoftware.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 1:12 AM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: Order on download menu on website Hi, I was looking at the download menu and the order seems a bit random: Download the SDK Installer (For Application Developers) Download FlexJS 'alpha' (For Application Developers) Download FlexUnit (For Application Developers) Download the SDK Binaries (For SDK Developers) Download the SDK Source Code (For SDK Developers) Download the Tour De Flex Code Flex Utilities Previous Versions Would a better order be this: Download the SDK Installer (For Application Developers) Download the SDK Source Code (For SDK Developers) Download the SDK Binaries (For SDK Developers) Download FlexJS 'alpha' (For Application Developers) Download FlexUnit (For Application Developers) Download the Tour De Flex Code Flex Utilities Previous Versions Reasons being: - /Most people are after the installer or the Flex SDK (download numbers seem to indicate this) - Apache is all about source code so we should put that before the binaries (although slightly more people look at the binary page) - Put all the SDK togethers followed by utilities These download pages actually get a surprising number of page views (1000-2000/month each). The installer page gets 15,000 page views a month. In the footer they are ordered by release date but as the date is listed that seems fine to me. Thanks, Justin

Re: Order on download menu on website
No objection from me. I usually let something like this sit for 24-48 hours to give a chance for folks in different time zones to respond, then do it. So feel free to make the changes in a day or two. -Alex On 8/26/14 9:55 AM, "Mihai Chira" wrote: >Additionally, could we remove the prefix "Download the"?

Perhaps people have been going there when the installer doesn't work? Thanks, Justin
Re: Order on download menu on website
Additionally, could we remove the prefix "Download the"? It feels self-evident, since all the menu items are under the "Download Flex" parent item.

+1. Didn't realize folks went after the binaries and source page that often.
