At the top of the page for Ubuntu 9.10 alphas 1-3 there should be a disclaimer saying "This is not the current release. Please use Ubuntu 9.10 alpha 4 instead." (with a link)

At the moment, there is no simple way to reach the latest Alpha version from Ubuntu main page.

So I suggest to add a link to
* Ubuntu Wiki ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing ), or even
* Ubuntu | Get Involved ( http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate )
pointing to the latest Alpha version.

Everyone can quickly find the getubuntu download page on ubuntu.com, why not place a link under 'Even more options' showing the latest development release for the upcoming version.

By placing it on say http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/development it's more likely to rank higher on searches than the ubuntu wiki or community pages, better resolving the problem korin43 specified and would really make getubuntu the only place to get Ubuntu from, regardless of version or stability.

On the homepage (www.ubuntu.com), up in top right corner there should be a link for "Experimental" or "Testing" releases. This could be followed by a page with short, to the point easily identifiable warning about the fact that "the release you are going to download is highly experimental. If you've never used Ubuntu before please "click here" and download the latest stable versions" and other obvious warnings.

This link being in the top corner means it's not too obvious for new users, they'll just look towards the centre of the page for what Ubuntu all about and ultimately toward downloading a stable copy.
