On Friday, I had a call with Christian and asked him a couple of
questions what's possible and what not (he implemented the download
logic on the website). If time permits, I try to document this
discussion and will put it in the Whiteboards section of the Design
Team.

As far as I can see, the goal "one click download" will only work for
Windows users not requiring the "offline" help package. However, I think
it makes more sense to wait for the wiki page :-)

There are even some more issues - according to the discussion of Kendy's
adopt-o-meter idea, there may be three versions at the same time that
might be interesting for different user groups (without thinking about
RCs, Betas, Daily Builds).

Furthermore, any work on our download site does not fix the "other
places in the web offer the latest version without any notice" issue.
Still thinking about a potential solution.

Cheers,
Christoph
