## Where can I download Apache Edgent to try it out?
-You can download the source from Apache and build it yourself [here]({{
site.data.project.source_repository_mirror }}). You can also find already
pre-built Apache releases of Edgent for download [here]({{
site.data.project.apache_release_location }}) (But this location is temporarily
unavailable until we get the first release out).

I suggest simplifying this and adding all of the details to the downloads
page. E.g., simply say "You can download Apache Edgent from --link to the
downloads.html page--.

> Key: EDGENT-323

> Project: Edgent
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Dale LaBossiere
> Assignee: Cazen Lee
>
> A precursor to making a release announcement is that the project's website is
> updated for the release.
> There are several places in the current edgent.apache.org dealing with
> downloads. Downloads are a bit more complicated in the ASF world -- with the
> official www.apache.org/dist site (and mirrors, and dynamic resolver) for
> releases (with src and convenience binary bundles) as well as the Edgent ASF
> git repo and mirror at github.
> We need a edgent.apache.org/downloads.html page that all other references /
> buttons point to. That page can clarify these different locations and their
> uses, provide a list of releases, and release specific links (dynamic-mirror
> links for bundles, backup-mirror links for the md5/sha/asc files,
> release-specific-github link).
> Fwiw, it seems common for ASF release announcements to refer people to
> <website>/downloads.html as opposed just to the project's main page.
> Various locations related to downloads in edgent.apache.org:
> - Download Source button - links to github
> - Community tab -> Source Code - links to github
> - Getting Started tab -> Download Source - links to github
> - docs/community - "Source code" - no mention of ASF release, ...
> - docs/faq
> - "Where can I download..." github and quarks-edge - see EDGENT-312 /
> https://github.com/apache/incubator-edgent-website/pull/80
> - "Where can I get the code?" - links to github
> - docs/edgent-getting-started
> - upper left says Edgent Version 0.3.0
> - "Downloading Apache Edgent" - has link to DEVELOPMENT.md
