When you talk all I hear is poop hitting a toilet. So when was the last time you have seen an astablished real open source product tell its users to use there nightly build it a production enviroment? I can hear it now: Linus: "Yes, IBM, use last nights kernal build on your 50 million dollor cluster. Don't worry: we use agile (that makes everything ok)" If you have ever worked on a non-kiddy project (ie $$$) you will understand the ideas behind milestones,stables, and real beta-testing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
