(Get the code!)
(This may be a dupe.)
I think there is a substantial issue here.
It is common for people coming to a project's home page to want to download it, either in a prebuilt package or as a simple source code tarball. For unix projects it is pretty common to want or expect to get source rather than a binary package.
This might be a good thing to try some user testing on: get some users starting from a project's homepage or the launchpad top page to get an installable copy of a project.
"Code" is a fairly obivious link to click to get there. Code does not necessarily mean source.
On the other hand the third-level (!) tab bar on the project homepage does now have a "Downloads" tab, and if people click that they may find what they want.
It might be good if 'announcements' and 'downloads' were in the main tab bar. I bet both of them are more interesting to most visitors than blueprints.
