[ofa-general] Downloads web page

Shouldn't the "OFED" link be the first/most prominent download link  
on http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads.htm?  All the others are  
supplemental and for unusual / specific user needs.

For newbies, there's no indication that OFED is *the* main  
distribution.  The OFED link is buried deep down in the list; it is  
not indicated at all that OFED is what they should be downloading  
(rather than all the individual libraries).  Indeed, the acronym  
"OFED" is not even defined at all.

More specifically: can the download page be re-worked to be a bit  
more optimized for the common and newbie use-cases?  Right now, it's  
both non-obvious and sub optimal for what is expected to be the most  
common case (downloading the entire OFED distribution -- you may even  
have to scroll down to find the OFED link).

Thanks.
