Fwd: Download page.

[Dmitriy Setrakyan]

Brane,

Thanks for the review!

I actually asked everyone to review the download page when I changed it.
The reason I put the GridGain community edition up top is because from the
user standpoint it is the most stable release, as it has the latest bug
fixes (as you know the voting process for an official release may take
several weeks which delays the bug fixing process).

As we approach graduation, I think it will become less of an issue going
forward.

Download page.

Hey.

I just restructured the download page. Let me explain why, for the 115th
time:

  * Ordering of download links: Sources MUST be before convenience
binaries. ASF releases are source packages, not binary stuff that
no-one really knows where it came from.

  * 3rd-party downloads links: First of all, it's entirely unreasonable
to put these first, before our official releases. We're supposed to
be vendor-neutral. Accordingly, I put these at the bottom of the
page. I also reduced the section to just a link to the 3rd-party
    download page, with a short description. We don't do advertising or
analytics or whatnot for 3rd parties.

Please, guys, stop thinking with your employee hats on and start
thinking like ASF committers, i.e., neutral volunteers. This change of
viewpoint is, IMO, the biggest (and almost last) remaining hurdle before
graduation.

changes to download page

[Dmitriy Setrakyan]

Guys,

Given numerous questions asking about the differences between Apache Ignite
and GridGain Community Edition releases, I have added a link and
explanation to the Apache Ignite download page

Please review the text and let me know if it is kosher from ASF standpoint.
Will be happy to change it, if anything is wrong.

Thanks,
