[time-nuts] A better Lady Heather 4.0 download page

[Chris Albertson]

Why not use something that is 100% respectable and well known, like github
https://github.com
You can set up a public project for free.  This is the site that hosts
almost every important software project on Earth and I'm almost not
exaggerating.  They pretty much took over from Source Forge although SF is
still huge.  (Both are free)
https://sourceforge.net
What you get with either of these is more than just a download page.  You
get (1) versioning, (2) bug reporting and tracking, Forum/email list for
your project and web address that has name recognition that users trust.
 but maybe the biggest thing is that no one has to maintain the server,
some one else does that for you

I suspect that now that LH runs a more reasonable platform it will become
about 8 ones more popular and people will make changes and want to
contribute them.  Managing the process manually is not fun and error prone
