If you come to the Google Code site as many web searches will lead you
(rather than to TUG), you would intuitively look for current binary
releases under Downloads, in fact that page can even be presented to
you as a/the prime search result, TUG secondarily.

e.g.
http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=TeXworks+download
http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=download+TeXworks

Is it possible to get some descriptive text and links on that page
   http://code.google.com/p/texworks/downloads/list
pointing to Stefan's work for Ubuntu, and to Charlie's (if necessary
although it looks like his stable binaries are on the download page)
and any other relevant download page - or point back to
http://texworks.org for the information there?

Or otherwise anywhere else to make a one stop shop for download
information for binaries?

Paul
