This email is about

I've added a components link to the developer link.  I've listed
the main components under "Use an open free alternative".

I did not add a components link to the main page, since the
main point of the site redesign is to appeal to users
who have never heard of GAP, PARI, Singular, etc.

It is.  The solution is to
   (1) create a good msi installer, and
   (2) have a well-supported vmware machine.

Michael is working on (1) for sage-2.5, and (2) is now done I think.

Done.

Great idea, I've done that.
