 I did realize earlier today that you were not thinking of /delivering/
 the releases in terms of having a central place where people can
 technically find them, but that this was all about /marketing/ what
 Linaro is doing, notably monthly releases.

 In this light, please scrap my suggestions about re-using
 releases.linaro.org (well technically we could still re-use it or use
 it more, but that's irrelevant).

 I checked your mockup, and basically I wondered whether the site should
 be structured around the fact that people will interested in a specific
 piece of software, or whether they are interested in the latest stuff.
 Basically, we could either list "These things were recently released:"
 or we could have "Get latest toolchain release", "Get latest kernel
 release" etc.


 In any case, I very much like the idea of a shiny scene for Linaro's
 outputs


 It's tempting to re-visit the problem of URL proliferation and wonder
 whether this should be part of "status.linaro.org", with one angle
 being blueprint progress, another angle being software releases etc.


 But this does feel a bit like creating a modern Linaro website, and
 something in the back of my mind tells me this could easily become a
 really large project!
