> A precursor to making a release announcement is that the project's website is updated for the release.
> There are several places in the current edgent.apache.org dealing with downloads.  Downloads are a bit more complicated in the ASF world -- with the official www.apache.org/dist site (and mirrors, and dynamic resolver) for releases (with src and convenience binary bundles) as well as the Edgent ASF git repo and mirror at github.
> We need a edgent.apache.org/downloads.html page that all other references / buttons point to.  That page can clarify these different locations and their uses, provide a list of releases, and release specific links (dynamic-mirror links for bundles, backup-mirror links for the md5/sha/asc files, release-specific-github link).
> Fwiw, it seems common for ASF release announcements to refer people to <website>/downloads.html as opposed just to the project's main page.
> Various locations related to downloads in edgent.apache.org:
> - Download Source button - links to github
> - Community tab -> Source Code - links to github
> - Getting Started tab -> Download Source - links to github
> - docs/community - "Source code" - no mention of ASF release, ...
> - docs/faq 
>   - "Where can I download..."  github and quarks-edge - see EDGENT-312 / https://github.com/apache/incubator-edgent-website/pull/80
>   - "Where can I get the code?" - links to github
> - docs/edgent-getting-started
>   - upper left says Edgent Version 0.3.0
>   - "Downloading Apache Edgent" - has link to DEVELOPMENT.md
