If we were to refactor out the "Test Build" section onto its own page, and even put a conspicuous disclaimer on the page "This is not a release!", plus call the link "Test/Unreleased Builds" on the menu, there would be little or no problem. I don't buy that you have to bury and obfuscate the builds to ward off accidental downloads. As far as I am concerned, since I couldn't even find it, that was personal proof it's hidden beyond reason. I think the current approach is too conservative to the point of hindering curious volunteers. Opening it up a little may help, and I would gladly refactor out the page for you.
In my opinion, we are only borderline compliant today with the ASF-wide stipulation that non-release artifacts not be visible to non-developers. Some people consider that making a link available on the web site at all should not be permitted. With that in mind, I am very much against making them any more visible than they are now. -- Martin Cooper My 2 cents.. plus 2 more. :-)
