Summary

Following the changes made when discussing https://phabricator.kde.org/D4008:

Several modifications in the "get-involved" page: the INSTALL file uses a different method for downloading a Krusader.po file because once that the user has its mouse cursor upon the download link, so that he has seen its preferred language code (which can be as crafted as "ca@valencia" in my zone), the use can download the file just clicking (instead of figuring what he must change in

$ wget -U "Mozilla/5.0" https://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/l10n-kf5/<XX>/messages/extragear-utils/krusader.po

modifying it, and executing that wget command). That step gets easier just clicking, is more intuitive for new people, but the wget method keeps on being mentioned (as an advanced way in the INSTALL file).

Some changes in other places to make things easier for new developers when they are beginning. A note about a change that has to be applied to a command was moved before the user executed the command. Some "https" links were used instead of "http" ones to try to improve a bit the security.

And thanks to Alex Bikadorov, Yuri Chornoivan and Martin Kostolný :-)

Thinking about the Get Krusader page:

https://krusader.org/get-krusader/index.html

perhaps it's more probable that users that want to get Krusader... prefer the method that their distribution uses, and so the section

Looking for a quick source download? Krusader comes in different flavors:
Download stable version
Release: 2.5.0

The latest stable version of Krusader.
Mature, and safe for everyday use. Made for KDE5 / KFramework 5
Download unstable version
Release: 2.4.0-beta3

Release notes | Changelog

This version is a (possibly) unstable and older build of Krusader. Usable with KDE 4.
Supplied for older systems.

would be better placed after all the easier options? What is your opinion about moving that "source download" section to the end? What about adding then something like

If you download the source code and want to compile it, you can look at <a href="../get-involved/index.html">that page</a>.
