On a more serious note, "Download Haskell" /= "Download Haskell Platform", so if I were glancing
down the sidebar looking for a link to download the "Haskell Platform" then the first link wouldn't have
registered for me. And putting a "X has been released link!" in the news does not count as a prominent
download link.
If I wanted to know something *about* the *Haskell Platform* I would
click the link The Haskell Platform under the section About. So it is
actually mentioned 3 times on the front page. What could be improved
are the 2 download links: "Download Haskell" and "Download GHC". It
would perhaps be better to have one nice big "Download" button that
takes you to a separate download page.
Having a single download link that only points to the Haskell Platform
would be a bit of a policy shift. Is the community ready to accept that
users looking for "Haskell" should be given the HP binaries?
Although as others pointed out this wasn't the suggestion, I do think
that it is a good idea to eventually have a single big download button à
la firefox.com: Haskell Platform OS-specific (based on best effort
guess) button linking directly to download, with less prominent options
to download for other OS'es, or other implementations.
