Summary0009677: Improving the download page
Description- a "simple" download page should be on www
- this page should have one link for the stable (and eventually development) release for the user's operating system
- the link should directly trigger the download and not lead to the sourceforge page
- the user should be "warned" that she is going to download from sourceforge and not from scribus.net (it should be short, if necessary with a link to a page which explains what that means).
- a link ("more download options") should link to the wiki download site
- the wiki download site should look similar to now (maybe with some links to even more advanced download options, like compiling the trunk and so on)
TagsNo tags attached.

one way to detected the os, is to take a plugin which detect the browser and modify it to detect the os.

if this does not work, we can go for a javascript solution... we would have a link pointing to the wiki's download page, which is replaced by a js snippet.

here are some notes on how it could work:
