[ckan-dev] download link on ckan.org

[Irina Bolychevsky]

James is right, we need direct download links. The ckan site will be
reshuffled in future, for now the main menu link Rufus has added should be
okay, if people are happy with this? We just need to make sure any other
download links (e.g. on pricing page) point there instead of the docs page.
