Hi guys,
sorry, I am coming back with this topic, but I don't think the discussion
finished last time. The only thing I can say is that from IBM's point of
view, we can only ever really deal with releases. We have the capacity to
some preliminary testing with candidates or overnight builds, but they
will never get the same coverage as to what we can obtain with a release.
Your last message was:

The project makes builds available - it is IBM's choice whether to test
them or not. No one is suggesting deploying non-releases.
Other users are already giving feedback on development builds; some are
deploying them in situations that matter to them. Many users provide
feedback after releases but before is more valuable.
Are you going to test pre-release if we start a release process? We
have just done a public testing cycle on SDB and it was worked well.
An open source community is about working together for mutual benefit.
So the question remains: what are the 2.7.4 release plans? It has been
quite a while since 2.7.3 came out.
Jena 2.7.3 was Aug 07. Less than 2 months.
