Add downloads link to 'Quicklinks Section' #98

Closed Aaron1011 closed 8 years ago

Aaron1011 commented 8 years ago

Currently, 'Quicklinks Section' (containing the buttons 'Forums', 'Code', 'Javadocs', etc.) lacks a download button. The only way to download Sponge from the home page is to use the comparatively difficult-to-spot 'Downloads' button in the upper right-hand corner, or scroll a significant distance down to the 'Get Sponge' section.

Since people visiting the home page are probably going to be server owners (developers may have seen the Github page linked elsewhere), I think it makes sense to display a link to the 'Get Sponge' section much more prominently. This could be accomplished in one of two ways:

As a side note, it might be useful for someone with access to look at the Google Analytics stats for the number of clicks on those buttons (if no one has already).

I'd say replace the Javadocs button. Most developers are using Maven/Gradle and an IDE, and since Maven and Gradle download the sources, the IDE gets access to the Javadocs via them.
