feature Request: Add link to Joomla! project on main page

Post by ianmac » Thu May 03, 2007 3:25 pm

Right now it is hard to find the official Joomla! project.  Yes, there is a download link to the frs, but this might not occur to all users.  Is it possible to add a link directly to the Joomla! project (i.e. http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/) on the main page?  Or is it there and I'm just missing it?

As far as I can see, it's not there. Does the joomlacode project really belong on the frontpage? It might be better to have a more distinct place on the 'Developer' tab. This is the place to go to for developing (where it also can't be found directly.

The /joomla/ project most likely will stay on top at the list of 'Top Downloads', so there will be both the download icon at 'Get Joomla!' and the toplist.

Yeah...  I suppose it would...  I guess the difference between the JoomlaCode and forge.joomla.org is that that module was at the top of the page on the old one.

But that suffices, I believe.

@Tonie - I think you misunderstood - I didn't mean to have a link on http://www.joomla.org, but on the frontpage of joomlacode.org.
