Bug Description

As a new user, wanting to download an Ubuntu GNOME ISO it's way harder than it needs to be to actually get an ISO.

Try searching from google:-

i. Search for ubuntu gnome download on google.com
ii. First result (for me) is https://ubuntugnome.org/download/ - click that
iii. Look for a link on that page to actually get the ISO - fail.

New users will get stuck in this path:-

https://ubuntugnome.org/download/

click "Ubuntu GNOME 15.10" for latest version
Arrive at https://ubuntugnome.org/ubuntu-gnome-15-10-is-released/
Look for link to download under "Get Ubuntu GNOME 15.10", find https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME
Look for a link to download ISO, find "Get Ubuntu GNOME 15.10" which links to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME/Non-LTS - which I click...

Which _finally_ links to ISO images.

Those images should be linked from the _first_ page, not the _fourth_ page a user arrives at.

I do believe the first impression is important and something to consider.
