"about to be the place" seems to indicate there are plans with it.

I agree that it is hard to navigate. The most valuable information can be found navigating through the directory structure from this starting point: http://windows.php.net/downloads/ The snaps of PHP 5.5 are quite up-to-date: http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/php-5.5/ My idea: discard the homepage, make that a mirror of the homepage of php.net. And create a good interface for the downloads. Jan PS. The beta for php.net has its problems as well. There is no equivalent (yet?) for http://www.php.net/downloads.php I switched back to the old site because of this.
