Calling it an alpha or beta is really arbitrary.  The version number
will be 0.x, where `x' will probably be 1.  The release will be put up
for ftp on alpha.gnu.org.

Java does not have good free manuals.  Free software needs good free
documentation <URL:http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html>.  You
can expect me to work heavily on the free documentation side of things
once we replace Sun's proprietary libraries.
