             Summary: Improved download and install experience
                 Key: MNGSITE-245
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-245
             Project: Maven Project Web Site
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Manfred Moser
            Assignee: Manfred Moser


I propose to do the following changes:

- Simplify the 'Get Maven' submenu to just have Download, Install and Run
- Remove older versions than latest release from Download page
- Clearly add requirements to top of page
- Create separate install page
- Create new run page (with stuff from old wiki and other resources)

The aim is to make the initial download and get started experience better and remove confusing choices about Maven versions to use and so on. 

We effectively only push fixes into latest release and such this is the only one that should be available for download easily. The rest can be retrieved from the archive.
