And putting a "X has been released link!" in the news does not count as a prominent download link.If I wanted to know something *about* the *Haskell Platform* I would click the link The Haskell Platform under the section About. So it is actually mentioned 3 times on the front page. What could be improved are the 2 download links: "Download Haskell" and "Download GHC". It would perhaps be better to have one nice big "Download" button that takes you to a separate download page.Having a single download link that only points to the Haskell Platformwould be a bit of a policy shift. Is the community ready to accept thatusers looking for "Haskell" should be given the HP binaries?
But that isn't the suggestion; I see nowhere a statement that the separate download page needs to only have the Haskell Platform.
In fact, I suspect it would be good for the download page to provide both and suggest in user-friendly terms which one to download (which I suspect is still GHC for now, until the HP settles down a bit).
