More descriptive buttons for LTS and Stable in the download tab.

[mikeal]

We should have more descriptive tabs, similar to what we have on the front page, for the corner LTS and Stable tabs.

I think the labels should stand out more like tabs, so it's really clear on what page you're on and what you are about to download. Just bold text isn't enough.

I think that copy contains pretty much everything we want in the tab, but yes, a tab that stands out a bit more would be great.

+1 to @fhemberger. How about putting a toggle on the far left, with one half with a bright green background (same as platform logos) and the other half as background-transparent? Top could be LTS, bottom could be stable, and there would be enough room for the subtitles.

@bnb sorry I do not quite follow, when I think of a toggle I think of something like this:

Could you give the most basic mock-up of your idea? Can just be boxes and lines. Otherwise I will keep things where they are and do something like this:

This is essentially what I meant.

@bnb Unfortunately, this layout wouldn't fit for a tablet/mobile view of the page. But yes, I like the idea. Maybe you can put this on a horizontal axis somewhere?

[rnsloan]

We could move it above

Or decrease the width of the windows, osx, source links

I like it!

Some things:

Should we really be defaulting to LTS?

Tested and Secure has the same problem as stable for LTS. Stable is very well tested. It is arguably also even more secure than LTS. I think we should keep with terms like mature, dependable, predictable, etc.

+1 to having larger buttons though, I missed those before!

[fhemberger]

Nice, I like how this is evolving! 👍

+1 to your second option @rnsloan. Moving the version choice nearer the actual download links, looks like a much better approach than links in the page header.

Also +1 to @rnsloan's second option.
