Hello,

The T2 download page (http://t2-project.org/download/) was frustrating
to me. If you want to build from source, it provides instructions for
downloading SVN Trunk, or for getting a tarball of a stable release.
This would imply to me that the tarballs are the preferred source for
creating a build of the stable version. However, none of the supplied
tarballs (including the most recent 7.0-rc2 version) build
successfully any more (the download stage of the build process fails).

It was only after some frustration that I realized that I probably
should have been pulling the stable version from an SVN branch, as is
explained in the Quick Build guide. Before I actually reached that
point, I gave up on the stable version and have actually been playing
with the version from SVN trunk instead.

So, my humble suggestion is that either the download page be updated
to recommend pulling the stable version from SVN, or that it be
removed entirely in favor of pointing new users directly to the Quick
Build guide.

It's not rocket science, and I did figure it out on my own, but I
wasted several days on broken builds first, which is not a fun
first-time user experience. >_<

Thanks for reading. From what I've seen so far, this looks like an
awesome project. :-)
