[PD] Pd download page

[Joel Matthys]

Yes, I totally understand the political argument for placing src first. 
I guess the debate comes down to how far we want to go to make things 
easier for new users. To me, this seems like a move that may help avoid 
confusion and frustration among new users, a very important demographic 
for the future of the project, and it doesn't seem like it would be a 
violation of our FOSS philosophy.

On the other hand, I *don't* support the idea of putting all of the 
"major" platforms at the top. Start with BSD, by all means. For me, it's 
just the phrase "all platforms" at the top of the page that caused the 
confusion.
