Hey I was just trying to evaluate Ogre3D, but I found that locating the source and/or binaries for the core engine was quite confusing.
If you click on the downloads button under Engine on the main ogre3d web site menu, it takes you here, where you're presented with a list of alternatives none of which say what I was expecting which was something along the lines of a link like Download Ogre V1.0RC Source (.zip 24MB)
Instead you have to dig down two levels (from the fourth entry in the list!) to find it. It's just odd that the main 'product' of Ogre3d.org is buried so far down. Direct links to the source and precompiled binaries of the core engine should be put right there at the top level of the download page.

I believe a precompiled SDK release will be made available after 1.0.0 is finalised.Direct links to the source and precompiled binaries of the core engine should be put right there at the top level of the download page.
And I also believe that the website is currently undergoing a bit of an overhaul.
(but, for the record, most people seem to manage to find the download OK )
