Looking a the home page http://eagle.incubator.apache.org/ <http://eagle.incubator.apache.org/> I think that Eagle should make Apache branding clearer for people who do not scroll down past the fold, remove the prominent GitHub link, and add a “Download” button to a standard download page with instructions on check-sums.
I will make sure that this happens immediately after graduation. Julian > On Dec 7, 2016, at 4:30 AM, John D.
