Wow
It's so nice to see this project going somewhere. At the start of the project several years ago there were so many people involved and excited about it. After some time, I lost touch with the project, but still wondered how things were going with it. Congrats on your progress thus far!

Wouldn't it be better to use the language settings, a-la Multiview, to pick the language?
Better still, update the Freshmeat record more often and release as frequently as possible?

Yes, but it's a French project. I don't think you should make the
French version of your homepage the default, either. :)
