Thanks for the restatement - I really appreciate it. My point was that we already have a download page for the Release Branch which already has the button linked that you're asking for and it's found on the Branches / Releases page right here - http://build.ofbiz.org/branches.php . Let's le

Hi Tim: I don't get your point. What is wrong with http://build.ofbiz.org/branches.php? FYI - I don't care so much about the feedback. I just want new users and casual "downloaders" to have a reasonable shot at a successful download and a first-time OFBiz experience. Regards, Ruth ---

Still a bad idea. Have you even seen the branches / releases page which does exactly what you're asking? http://build.ofbiz.org/branches.php - take a peek because then we can stop all of this around pushing people to the 9.04 release. As I've said seemingly a million times, until the things t

Hi Ryan: We could say that. Please say that! And please, have that button point to a 9.04 build. Currently, that button does not point to a download of OFBiz 9.04. Instead you get the latest trunk build. [Hence all my original confusion and misunderstanding about what was going on.] So, yes,

I see no reason to add "New Users" to the download button, as they are not the only people who download OFBiz. Take a look at another Open Source project that has 10 million downloads as an example, WordPress. I love the fact that they display a big download button right in the middle of their
