I just realised there is no equivalent of a download page - a simple web-based landing page for

* where downloads are
* where the big picture is described.
Or did I miss it (could be - happens often, like when I am distracted by toast, butterflies, e-mail or pretty much any other event)?
Do you want to see
http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Download
