Good to know, I will take a look at it.

For the time being, I am using my personal server and have put a new
downloads page online. It is available at

http://eclipsefp.sourceforge.net/download/

The page has some missing images: I didn't have write access to the
images directory and didn't want to start a mess by placing the images
elsewhere.

I am configuring my server to build a ZIP bundle with the plugin
contents and send it to the SourceForge server automatically everytime
a change arrives at the repo. This should only be a matter of
configuring some SSH tools and hooking something to the darcs'
post-push (or something like) trigger. The process is currently being
triggered manually. This should be one of the last things remaining
for real live downloads.

You may also notice that the live builds are hosted on the website
itself. I didn't think it was the case to clutter the project releases
page with them, since they are by nature very unstable files and the
releases page seems to hold the data for some very long time.

Maybe we'll need to seek some better solution (or ask for more storage
space), since our current quota for the website (and group account) is
100MB.
