On a more serious note, "Download Haskell" /= "Download Haskell Platform", so if I were glancing down the sidebar looking for a link to download the "Haskell Platform" then the first link wouldn't have registered for me. And putting a "X has been released link!" in the news does not count as a prominent download link.
If I wanted to know something *about* the *Haskell Platform* I would click the link The Haskell Platform under the section About. So it is actually mentioned 3 times on the front page. What could be improved are the 2 download links: "Download Haskell" and "Download GHC". It would perhaps be better to have one nice big "Download" button that takes you to a separate download page.
Furthermore, when someone offers feedback designed to improve a page, and does so in a very non-threatening way: ... then in my own humble opinion, snapping back with "Are you sure this isn't user error?" is not a particularly nice response.
E-mail isn't the best medium to convey emotion. I read Dons reply as "Are you sure this is a problem with the front page and not a slight oversight on your part?" Regards, Roel van Dijk
