Personally, I have several issues with the current proposal, the biggest of which is the "get them to download it!" philosophy -- it is a HUGE download (7 - 9 hours here) -- as a dial-up user I am NOT pleased to be surprised by such things. Before committing to something like that, I want to know more about what I'm getting, and so --
the download icon is not supposed to start the download process immediately, it will direct the user to the specific download page. there is (IMO) plenty of room to explain the size and time.
I also think the component links should be clickable (they may be now, I haven't checked today), but I understand we don't have pages for this yet and that's something that can be done when we do have them.
we have to get over this step in order to be able to start creating those pages.
in the meantime, Matthew probably can made those items to be links pointing to inexistent URLs if this will reduce complaints.
But surely what is currently proposed is not the be-all, end-all, never to be done again, has to be perfect (the unattainable standard), home page?
As has been mentioned before, especially in a community as large and varied as this one, there is just no way to make everyone happy. While I guess such a project can never be considered "done", can't it be thought of as "ready"?
definitely. it should be at some point (now?) declared "ready" and after this, being in maintenance mode can be improved continuously.
