Description
Linking from http://wordpress.org/download/source/ to the "convenient web interface," there is a page with only one option, for the WordPress Trunk, and clicking on that yields a 403 Forbidden error.
Further, the /download/source page should be linked to from http://wordpress.org/about/license/ and maybe also http://wordpress.org/about/gpl/ and probably also http://make.wordpress.org/ (at least, http://make.wordpress.org/core/) and the new contributor handbook (https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/). It's surprisingly hard for a newcomer to be able to even find source to browse through.

OK, fair enough that the link exists on that page, though discoverability could still be improved overall.
The difference between https://code.trac.wordpress.org/browser and https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser might also be difficult for a newcomer to pick up on.
For what it's worth, the source is linked on make/core. There's a link in the header area that looks like this: <>
