No, don't worry, I'd bet everyone agrees that the issues you raise are
important.

And then I realized something else. (Say "Uh-oh.") My confusion
started because Lenya 1.2.3 is an odd-number release, and I assumed it
was a development version rather than a stable production release.
(Yeah, assumptions. You know?) I usually suggest making Lenya easier
for newbies; now I am suggesting making it easier for the OSS/FSS
aware. The even/odd production/development numbering scheme is
ubiquitous. Does Lenya have a good reason to ignore it?
Why do you say even/odd numbering schemes have a world-wide accepted
meaning ? So for instance Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 were just
development releases ? How about Apache 1.3.X ? ;)
But seriously I'm only aware of the Linux kernel development which uses
that scheme. And even then it refers to the second number, not the
third, doesn't it ? 2.4.X kernels are stable, 2.6.X are stable as well.
So if you're referring to that numbering scheme, then Lenya is actually
trying to follow it (Lenya 1.2.X, 1.4.X)
I do agree that the Lenya homepage could be more effective: something
like "download our latest stable release", right on the front page,
available without scrolling, would probably be better. Work is underway
to allow us to use Lenya itself for maintaining the
http://lenya.apache.org Website; this will make it easier to improve the
online site. But to be fair to all involved, I would like to point out
that the quality & depth of the online doc has already significantly
improved in recent months. This obviously does not mean it's perfect yet.
