That first site is remarkably poorly designed for actually finding the information, a common theme I find for websites created by librarians. There should just be a box at the top listing the download links!
Web developers working for libraries: Far too often I visit a site and and am confronted by acres of text explaining what the project is, who is involved, how to enter data in forms and all sorts of hand holding, BUT NOT THE ACTUAL DATA! Usually I find there's some link hidden in the least visible part of the page, like the lower right hand side, that actually lets me get started! Does Facebook have paragraphs of text with a welcome message from Mark, explanations of what Facebook is, how you use it, or does it just let you dive in and get started?
edit: And despite all that text it doesn't explain what phase I and II are.
I should say this is an amazing bit of work and it's really important that it's being released public domain, and a good sign of the direction libraries are taking. It's just a little frustrating that the final delivery step is so obfuscated.
