BTW, shall we release a binary version at all?



yes, I think so.

Anything lowering the (rather high) entrance barrier is important - not everyone is a knowledgeable user at the beginning but getting an easy start without having to install another piece of software could trigger interest.

The problem I see is that the user certainly expects to get a completely usable product when downloading the binaries. With Lenya, this is not the case - you just get a little showcase application, but can't do any serious work with it. As soon as you want to develop your own publication, you need the source version.

IMO we should create a roadmap to overcome this issue:

1. Release only the source version for the moment

2. Re-design our build process to allow deploying pubs+modules in the
   binary version, i.e. separate the Lenya compilation process from the
   pub/module deployment process
