             Summary: edgent.apache.org needs refactoring for "downloads" info
                 Key: EDGENT-323
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EDGENT-323
             Project: Edgent
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Dale LaBossiere


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).

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
