Content for the CDN Tab.

Do we just want to update the /download page instead?

That would be my preference. I hadn't looked at the content in any of these pulls because they say "[NOT READY]". I'm not sure why we'd want a separate page for CDN info. I think users are accustomed to finding everything in one place. I'm also not sure we want to be listing half a dozen common versions. We want people on latest.

@gnarf @scottgonzalez I have to disagree. The CDN content is way below the fold.

We should probably just link to http://code.jquery.com/jquery/ and skip the table of releases here...

We should pull the CDN content out of /download then and link here...

CC @dmethvin - please look this over and add any suggestions - I'd like to merge this today if possible.

I just looked at the existing download page, and I see that the common versions came from there. After a quick look at that page, I'd say it could use some cleanup. @jdorfman If we move the CDN info to the top, would that address your concern? We could also build something similar to the CDN chooser that dojo has: http://dojotoolkit.org/download/

Whether we add a CDN page or not, I think we need to make some changes on the download page.

I'd really prefer to avoid a CDN page and just update the download page. The new code.jquery.com page is very nice looking so we can lean a bit more on that as well. It would be good to eliminate all the multiple places where we update versions and reduce it to perhaps two, the download page and the code.jquery.com page.

@dmethvin Since I know how much you hate updating version numbers, we can make it so you just need to update it once in jquery-wp-content and then use a variable everywhere. Computers are cool like that. :-)

How 'bout a top-nav CDN link to code.jquery.com ?

The "quick download" lets people miss the important information on the download page though. Once we have more post-1.9 users than pre-1.9 it could be good, but right now it's a hazard IMO.

You can put important info on http://code.jquery.com/jquery/ if you want. I like @rdworth's idea of a top-nav CDN link that goes to the jQuery listing (not the index page).

That works for me.
