How do I post downloads for my project?
It would be great to offer packaged downloadable content for my jazzhub project. It would be great if I had a place to put a custom HTML landing page and/or wiki where I could provide the downloadable content as well. An added bonus would be to make the downloadable content available without the need to create a jazzhub account and authenticate.
One workaround is to host the downloadable content from a build result but I have not yet created a build engine, build definition, etc. Plus, the builds are a little hard to get to in the web UI at the moment so I would probably post a link to the build result of the latest release from the project dashboard.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
You've hit on two key points that we really do want to improve on. We have talked about allowing users to post the project binaries for download right on the project details page, so it's great to get such early feedback that it's a good area for us to focus.
As for builds, it's actually more than just hard to find in the web ui right now. It's completely missing. We have hidden it temporarily while we think about how and if we want to surface the build capabilities. Again, it's good to hear that this functionality is being immediately sought after.
