Sorry, but I'm going to keep quoting the bylaws until I understand how this works. " After a proposed release is built, it must be tested and classified before being released to the general public. The proposed release may be assigned "Alpha", "Beta" or "General Availability" classifications by majority vote. Once a release is classified by the PMC Members, it may be distributed to the general public on behalf of the Foundation. " That says the "Alpha" label cannot be applied to a release without a vote. Before that, it's only a 'proposed release'. (The notion of 'test build' is not in the bylaws.) It also says that alpha releases can be distributed. I have an ulterior motive in wanting to preserve the "official" alpha designation. MyFaces is waiting on another Shale release-- alpha is fine, but it needs to be a sanctioned release so it can go in the Maven repository. Thanks for your patience. :) -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
