Ummm, we can submit a Beta for general circulation and mirroring. Right now, today, we're doing that with the Shale *Alpha*. * http://struts.apache.org/downloads.html The GA mark isn't about how we distribute the build, it's about whether we think the build is ready for primetime. The idea is that first we circulate the build to a wider set of users, and then, based on feedback (or the lack thereof), we decide whether to upgrade the Beta to GA. Since the build is already in the mirroring system, if we do upgrade a distribution to GA, then all we have to do is update the website. No fuss, no muss. If it helps, I'd say we could we could even announce the next distribution as * "Stuts Action 1.3.5 Beta (release candidate)". (Given the votes, of course.) I think the only thing that's broken is the notion that a Beta is not a Release Candidate, and that a Beta can't be announced and mirrored. It is, and it can. :) -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
