At the bottom of the Node.js download page there is a list of links:

  • Signed SHASUMS for release files (How to verify)
  • All download options
  • Installing Node.js via package manager
  • Previous Releases
  • Nightly builds
  • Node-ChakraCore Nightly builds
  • Building Node.js from source on supported platforms
  • Installing Node.js via binary archive on Linux

It would be helpful if this list of links included a link to the unofficial builds. Maybe something like this:

  • Signed SHASUMS for release files (How to verify)
  • All download options
  • Installing Node.js via package manager
  • Previous Releases
  • Nightly builds
  • Node-ChakraCore Nightly builds
  • Unoffical builds
  • Building Node.js from source on supported platforms
  • Installing Node.js via binary archive on Linux

I've been a little hesitant to do this given the potential impermanence indicated in #1, but a bit of promotion could help that I suppose.
The list is generated here: https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/blob/master/layouts/partials/download-list.hbs, so you could try putting in a PR to that repo to adjust it, the catch is the internationalisation since those strings are all pulled from config in the locales/ directory. You could ask the website working group about it when you create an initial pull request though and I'm sure they'd help make it happen.

add unofficial builds link to download page (#2216)
3ecc78c 
Node.js now has an unofficial-builds project that attempts to provide basic Node.js binaries for some platforms that are either not supported or only partially supported by Node.js. These binaries are available for download at https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/.

1. This PR adds a link to the unofficial-builds binaries to the Node.js download page.
2. The PR was created after discussing the topic at nodejs/unofficial-builds#3
