[Seaside-dev] State of Download Links

The download links on <http://www.seaside.st/download> are on a bad
shape. From the worst to the best:

1. The Dolphin page points to a site that does not exist.

2. The GST link points to smalltalk.gnu.org, but does not mention
Seaside anywhere.

3. Squeak links to www.squeak.org that does not mention Seaside other
than pointing back to www.seaside.st.

4. VA Smalltalk is acceptable, it links the product site and mentions
that Seaside is included.

5. Cincom Smalltalk is ok, because it has an explanation that you
should download the main product and load the Seaside package.

6. GemStone is good, because it links the GLASS site with detailed
instructions on how to use Seaside on GemStone.

7. Pharo is perfect, because it provides ready made one-click images,
and (almost too) detailed instructions on how to load it into a fresh
image.

I see some major improvement necessary on platforms 1--3. It would be
cool if 4--7 could be revised too.

Having bad download links do not only hurt Seaside but also your
platform. I've created an issue
<http://code.google.com/p/seaside/issues/detail?id=523>. Could the
responsible for each platform please post updated text and updated
links to the mentioned issue, otherwise we will have to remove the
links.

Thank you.
