Download Link?

[Bart Schouten]

Thanks Patrick,

It is, however, up to the writer to make the writed piece appealing to  
read ;-).

Presentation is mostly everything :). If the release notes are  
summarized to provide what is essential, or important, or meaningful,  
and presented in a way as to be easily accessible (such as on the  
introduction page leading to the download link) then you can be sure  
many people will read that ;-).

It's all common sense but sometimes duty seems to supersede what  
actually works ;-).

Or people try too hard. And achieve too little. It is often a case of  
working very hard and not having the time and the ease to get right  
what actually comes through to a reader. Sometimes people are just  
mired in a way of doing things that is based on constantly working on  
a certain thing. And not having the distance to look back and  
observing it as a disinterested person.

People are often stuck in a movement. And you have to stop moving in  
order to reconsider. That what you've been doing may not be the best  
way to do it. This applies to all of the open source world. You often  
have to stop moving. For just a little. For just a little while.

Good luck with it. I'm hoping to see better crafted Linux pages ;-) :).

(I wish I could also do some work myself some time....)

Regards,

Bart.
