How hard would it be to add a "Download" link--say, for Panther and
Tiger--to the very front of the MacPorts page, under "Getting Started,"
that includes the *direct* download links for the relevant .dmg's? (The
one for Tiger, as well as the one for Panther.) I'm sure that's the
first thing that most visitors to the website are looking for, and it's
nearly impossible to find the downloads--the average newbie is going to
steer clear of "Source Code." I'd also suggest considering renaming the
"wiki" link to "User Help," "How-to," or something like that, since it's
also a non-intuitive title.
