Thank you!

Just a minor thought:
I was wondering about the download links on the page. They still use
the ftp:// protocol which has regrettably been phased out by every
major browser.

There are http links to those, so I was wondering if they should be
changed to make them more accessible. I remember the old wiki used
them too.
