Hi Chesnay,

Thank you for the proposal. And i like it very much.

+1 for the leaner distribution.

About improve the "Download" page, I think we can add the connectors
download link in the  "Optional components" section which @Timo Walther
<t...@data-artisans.com>  mentioned above.


Regards,
Jincheng
