The block of text at the bottom of the main page is a "latest news"
feature, it is not supposed to only point at installers. Maybe this
should be updated to talk about the current summer of code session.

Discussion about whether the official GNU project web site can endorse a
binary disk image for OS X that can only be built on OS X will probably
have to be treated carefully.

One thing at a time, making the installer available via SourceForge
sounds like a good first step, and obviously making it more visible on
the wiki helped generate interest.
