On that download page there is a link at the bottom "View All LiveCode

Thanks. I can see why myself and others keep missing it, and even more embarrassingly, in the middle of a rushed night (man, it's been a busy season) I'd forgotten that I'd already submitted a usability bug report against that link:
<http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11685>

The Download page is divided into two halves, with Community on the left. The link labeled "View All LiveCode Downloads" is on the right side of the page, under the heading "Commercial Edition". This is why myself and others keep missing that link: we're looking for Community builds, and are focused on the links under the Community heading.

If the link were centered on the page it would more clearly indicate that it is indeed for Community as well.

That report also includes a suggestion that they put the PDF user guide for Server in the download package. As it is, the package contains only a bunch of files with no guidance, requiring the user to go back to livecode.com and hunt down the instructions on what to do with those files.

Thanks again. Going forward I'll try to remember to slow down and double-check my bug reports first, and may even put together a mirror site at LiveCodeJournal.com which has all the files in one place, along with updated docs that includes tips for Dreamhost's unusual requirements, permissions for folders, and other tips the community has come up with over the years.
