[Evergreen-web-team] Downloads page mockups

[Rogan Hamby]

I like the re-org a lot.

Splitting the content up: unless the demo servers grow a lot I don't know
if we gain much by splitting those off.  We've had times when we had a lot
of demo servers but inevitably they've faded into the background.  If we
can reliably keep just a few up I'd rather keep their information with the
downloads rather than have people click around more.

Splitting the server and staff client downloads off ... it's more
attractive and something tells me folks will like that.  If we could make
each portals for those communities I'll probably gravitate in that
direction as well and it seems like that's the road you're going down here.
 Was that your thought Grace?

Personally, I'm also a fan of linking staff clients in a series with the
current one, I often hear from folks who have trouble finding the slightly
older staff clients (e.g. 2.4.2 is the current release but they need the
2.4.1) and maybe some instructions for identifying which staff client they
need.  I know that sounds silly to some but by the time you're supporting
part time IT contractors in rural regions of your consortium... Whether or
not we did those particular things they are the kind of thing I can see us
fleshing out with more space.
