Fine points of labeling for when we start publishing publicly available artifacts (RPM/DEBs, etc) are yet to be determined. So far the only strong feedback we've got is that we have to be clear about incubating status of the project. > What does the version number mean?

Obviously I can't speak for the entire Bigtop community, but my preference would be to take a page out of Linux distributor's book and piggy back off of the released version of the upstream projects. Just like a CentOS RPM for a released version of GNU's gcc would be gcc-<released version #>-<CentOS specific version ID>.<ID>. Thanks, Roman.
