Hi Shankar,
We did alpha on 23rd Dec 2014. (http://builder1.us1.wso2.org/~appm/ lists
out all public packs we have hosted).

Then Isabelle & Chris used this alpha pack to do a series of partner
briefings.

After these briefings we got feedback to improve following areas:
1. App Publishing flow is too lengthy for a newbie
2. App Policy Mgt should be separated out from App Publishing (thread:
[APPM] [IS] Change of XACML based authorization)
3. Make graphs more aesthetic
4. Improve first timers experience better by adding a sample app deployer
(thread: dev: App Manager sample deployer)

We also discovered following:
- We only support EMM 1.0. So need to add support for both EMM 1.0.0 & MDM
2.0.0  ("thread: [Architecture] [CDM] [AppM] Moving CDM (EMM) App
Management feature to App Manager)

- ES only supports permission check for login only. So we had to implement
permission model on top of ES (thread : Life Cycles transition for Apps in
APPM)

Apart from this RuwanA finished his project on App Discovery (thread:
[Architecture] [AppM][AppFactory][AS] AppM Discovery of WebApps from AS)


So after the alpha on 23rd of December, above are the changes we introduced
apart from fixing issues reported.
