Several times had we discussions on the list that the recommended  
editors (namely JEdit/LilyPondTool and Frescobaldi) should have their  
download links on the homepage.
    

Yes, and we've had an open request for "help wanted: make a page
showing off different editors" for the past 3 years...
  

Ok, I'll create this page.

Discussion of different editing environments (with screenshots)
will go in LM 1 -- before even the tutorial.  That's not going to
start until I'm finished the website[1], though.
  

I mean where could the "Choose a LilyPond Editor to download" page go. Not the discussions about the editors, but the links with screenshots to download the 2 mostly recommended development environment.

I imagine that on the right side of the homepage there are three download links:

Latest version: 2.12.3
- Download LilyPond -> On the download page mention, that LilyPond has more than one graphical user interface to use, so the user should choose one.
- Download an editor -> this would go to the page briefly describing the two officially recommended editors
- Download the documentation -> intentionally goes as the third.
