[Geoserver-users] GeoServer Download page

As one more way to improve the GeoServer homepage, I organized a redesign of the download page template, published as of version 1.7.0 (with excellent icons made by Andy Cochran).

http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GeoServer+1.7.0

This is compared to the previous design:

http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GeoServer+1.6.5

I would appreciate any feedback you may have on this new design in terms of visual appeal, ease-of-use, and any other considerations.

Also, N.B. the main download page now includes a link for "Older Releases," so that other versions of GeoServer are easier to access.

Thanks,

Hi Mike!

I think this new one is a nice design!!

It’s easy to search and find the releases!!

That’s what I think!

Regards,

Rodrigo

Hi Mike,

The page is definitely a huge improvement, nice work to you and Andy. A couple of minor things:

* I think the icons are a bit big and take up a bit too much real estate on the page. I don't think there should be a reason why all the downloads can't fit onto a page without having to scroll.

* Currently all artifacts are grouped under "Format". But I think this should only be the first 4 (exe,bin,war,src). I think it would make sense to group all the others under a "Documentation" heading.

Other than that looks great.
