Can we add a paragraph at the top of the page that says, if you're not logged in already:
Welcome to the Xerte community downloads page. To download files from this page, you need to create an account. If you already have an account, please login. If you don't yet have an account, you can create one here.
It's not really clear to me what the 'overview' and 'up' links at the top of the page currently do ( I suspect this is a feature of the jDownloads plugin?). Also, the UoN Xerte page links directly to the zip file, circumventing the need to login: I don't want to undermine what you're doing with the community site, so should I link to the community site downloads page?
Could the 'pick your language' and 'login' panels be merged into one, with the title 'Welcome': then the login form, and the language flags along the bottom?
I'm happy to spend some time on the community site this week, I'm not sure if I have permissions to do the things I want to do (primarily tidy up the typography and look and feel a bit, and try and make it a bit more consistent)?
On the home page, the links in Main Menu and Key Features panels jump about as the mouse rolls over them: they don't do this in the 'New Features' panel: which is the desired behaviour?

If you have a suggestion of where, please let me know, and we'll do our best.
I've made the message more obvious for the time being.

I'm not trying to pull your chain, but now I go to this page: now what do I click on? Nothing is clickable, and I've been looking at the page for a little while a bit lost before I read 'Please register or login to download files from this category'. Ah-ha. A clue. Some users are going to miss that and give up. We need to have some text somewhere that explains things a bit more clearly.

Than tell me that in stead of telling you can't find it....
Is this better?

You can run it on a local machine, using the xampp software, there are instructions on the Xerte site. If you get stuck let me know and I'll help you get it running, but best to wait til we finish polishing the code today...
