Has two new changes:
* Per-platform "landing" pages, where we can describe the packages for each system:
The current version of the Mac landing page says to "Follow the install instructions", except there is no INSTALL file in the dmg. Perhaps the wording should be changed to say something like "Open the bundles and follow the instructions", or a trivial INSTALL file added to the dmg?
The usual documentation on Mac OS is to embellish the disk image with a background image that explains pictorially how to install, for instance like this /|\ / | \ /==== To install: \ | / | ==== Open this package \|/ \==== and follow the instructions platform-2010.2.0.0.pkg Example applications: Firefox http://myfirstmac.com/images/uploads/articleImages/FIREFOX-WINDOW.gif Adium http://www.appleunited.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/adium.jpg Skype http://sam.brown.tc/img/2006/08/skype.jpg (Since these are application bundles, the installation procedure is different from that of the Haskell Platform.)
