Thanks. I can see why myself and others keep missing it, and even more 
embarrassingly, in the middle of a rushed night (man, it's been a busy 
season) I'd forgotten that I'd already submitted a usability bug report 
against that link:
<http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11685>

The Download page is divided into two halves, with Community on the 
left.  The link labeled "View All LiveCode Downloads" is on the right 
side of the page, under the heading "Commercial Edition".  This is why 
myself and others keep missing that link: we're looking for Community 
builds, and are focused on the links under the Community heading.

If the link were centered on the page it would more clearly indicate 
that it is indeed for Community as well.

That report also includes a suggestion that they put the PDF user guide 
for Server in the download package.  As it is, the package contains only 
a bunch of files with no guidance, requiring the user to go back to 
livecode.com and hunt down the instructions on what to do with those files.

Thanks again.  Going forward I'll try to remember to slow down and 
double-check my bug reports first, and may even put together a mirror 
site at LiveCodeJournal.com which has all the files in one place, along 
with updated docs that includes tips for Dreamhost's unusual 
requirements, permissions for folders, and other tips the community has 
come up with over the years.
