Stephan,

I think we got off the wrong foot. I don't mean to rock the boat --
I'm just new at this. Web development isn't my forte, I've never used
ruby nor worked on a project where I don't have direct commit/svn
access. But I do want to contribute, and can pick up these things
quickly.

Only at first glance. It's definitely not perfect, and will need
further revisions *but* there are no regressions and it makes it more
useful than it currently is. And it will take all of 10 seconds to
change for an alpha release. But in then again, in my opinion a page
saying: "Go to download.opensuse.org/factory/iso" would be better than
what we have now (the links are currently broken and the page is
confusing)

It'd be nice. But right now it's a static page, so I'm not sure of the
motivations and requirements behind that.

But on that note, when the alpha / beta / rc does come along -- why
should it really be replacing the factory download anyway? I really
think we should have /developer.html (or rename it to /factory.html)
which will always have (or link to) the latest factory snapshots.

And for the pre-releases give it's own pre-release page (which can be
removed when got our stable release).

So where do we go from here? =)
