So I sent someone to go download and install the Mac Standalone of QGIS 1.6, only to find out that there isn't a standalone installer anymore. I'm sure there are reasons, and that's fine, but... I think we missed the ball on making sure that it's easy for a new user to get started.
Looking at the page http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis I'm guessing that only way to install QGIS now is to grab the Mac disk, install Frameworks, then grab the GDAL and GSL frameworks packages and finally the QGIS package? It's implied but it doesn't say it anywhere obvious. If this is true any chance we could update the instructions to give the step by step for a new user who has no idea what Frameworks are. Also could we point the GDAL and GSL links to the files themselves as opposed to the frameworks page, so that the install doesn't turn into a hunt for the right stuff to download? FYI to translators, I've re-ordered the Mac download links on the qgis wiki to reflect that the standalone is no longer the "recommended for new users".
