Thanks, that's much better.

However the downloads page is aimed at the general public, and nightly
builds should not be advertised there, see:

http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what - second paragraph

So I think any mention of such builds needs to be placed elsewhere.

For example, it might be useful to add a section to the "Getting involved" page.

This could discuss providing feedback on release candidates etc, and
point to a separate page describing how to get nightly builds (and the
caveats of using them).
[That page should not be linked from the main menus]

I think that would clearly signal that these builds are not for the
general public.

BTW that page has a typo: "Requriements Discussion"
