In our "third party downloads" section, we could add a link to a page targeted specifically at beginners, with Haskell for Mac as a prominent member of the "Mac" section on that page. Would that suffice?
Is there a ”third party downloads” section at the moment?
Nope, but the proposal is to create one. People have been rather busy but ideally a draft such section should be sent out by the end of this week? Or rather, the proposal is to create a small one, and use it to point to a page on e.g. the haskell wiki that is more organized and comprehensive, but such a page also needs to be created.
As I wrote above, I think, the main page should have a single option with a menu (or list) of alternative categories. I don’t think ”third party” is a good label, though. Good UI design takes the perspective of the user and presents choices in terms of the information that the user possesses (and is able to use for meaningful choices).
I agree that “third party” is not a good label. Do you have a better suggestion? “Other installers and distributions”? —Gershom
