Server can be used as a general database or reports server, in house or not.

Studio and Server are standalone, licensed products; the others are products
that developers license and deploy under their own terms.

There's a download link in top menu items of Studio and Server. It gets more
problematic with products that have more variations. Download Valentina for
Xojo for Linux Debian? 

The buttons have an inverted effect; Im not crazy about them but they aren't
explosive.

The rotators at the top of each section?

We need to improve the navigation on the wiki, blog and mantis to make it
easier to return to the main site. That's why its working that way now.

We'll need to check that effect for browser / platform compatiblity.
