It is available in principle, but the server (ftp://ftp.lyx.org) is not updated properly (we have contacted the maintainers). Jürgen

I saw the change and I can live with that, since it makes things easier for us if some installer is yet missing (as we had now), and I also do not see the need to make yours "un-official". However, I see the concerns that people like to have some kind of one-click-installation. For Mac, we link to one specific binary (of several possibilities), so we probably have to decide for a uniform way. Maybe we can add two links (one to Joost's installer, one to yours), and then indicate if one of both is still the old version? Jürgen

This prevents further problems when an installer is not available or a bug was fixed in the installer so that there is a new filename for it. OK with you Jürgen? I wouldn't do that.. some people might be scared off by presenting a list of files with rather cryptic names and not knowing which one to choose. They must just have a button or link saying: Lyx for windows. Could we use some clever way to automatically let the web/wiki figure out which package is the latest? We never had this problem before, because the page is updated after the files are uploaded to the FTP. But somehow the file did not appear on the FTP server for anonymous users and Jürgen probably didn't realize that when he updated the page. I don't think the change is a good idea. We agreed before that there should be a link to the standard installer for users who don't know about the differences between the installers. Experienced LyX users can click the FTP link and choose which package they prefer. Joost

I changed the download section of www.lyx.org so that we now only refer to the ftp site and not to special filenames. This prevents further problems when an installer is not available or a bug was fixed in the installer so that there is a new filename for it. OK with you Jürgen?
