I guess the organization of the site is pretty close to what one would expect it to be, though, some parts do seem a little messy, or outdated (and I know we could all chip in and help organize a little).
The download section I think is, if not the 1st most important page, then at least the 2nd. Clarity is always nice. At least for pd and pd-extended it would be great if the download section for those was only one click away. And, I would like it to be even clearer than before, just by glancing at the page, which is pd (vanilla) and which is pd-extended.
I would like "Downloads" to point to a page where you only see three options (with clear explanation on what each item is about):
- puredata
- pd-extended
- other (http://puredata.info/community/projects/software)
When clicking 1, or 2, you reach a page where you choose which package/installer to download to which OS, or a hint that puredata already exists in this or that repo.
I like the list of software in http://puredata.info/community/projects/software. It looks like a beginning of a nice database, which is great, but I don't think puredata and pd-extended should only be listed there. Right now it's almost hard to find them.

For starters:
- Put the download folder back (attached from archive.org from
beginning of January).
- Don't make the first distribution in the list an alpha release of
library that has no stable release for download. (Better candidate would be Pd-ext or Vanilla.)
I'd like that too.
I thought also a generally less clustered site would be also friendly. thanks for you efforts
