Here's some things that I think could be improved:

- distinct contributed builds

- better layout on the main screen, like perhaps take away the dates  
and put a little version of the project's icon.

- a top section for people just getting started to point to Pd- 
extended as the easiest place to start.  Right now the page works very  
well for people already using Pd, but is probably confusing for  
someone just starting.

But I have no particular deadlines for these, I just wanted to make  
sure this page didn't get locked down, thereby preventing such changes  
in the future.
