Hmm.. if we call it an alpha we're on the safe side regards to the quality
of the product we're delivering,
which is rather unknown after the large set of GSIP landed in such a short
time.
But very few people will be interested in checking it out (too adventorous
I guess).
If we call it a beta we'll get more people trying it out though.
I guess it boils down to the intentions of developers (and companies
backing them): if we call it a beta
we should be ready to treat it as such, something that we intend to work
on, bug fixing wise, in
order to go to RC and then a release, in a relatively short amount of time
(two months maybe?).
Which really means, allocating time to fix whatever issues pop up in the
beta, and time to do other
beta releases with a... monthly basis or so (don't take me too seriously
here, I'm just proposing something
to foster discussion).
And of course reactivate and fix the CITE tests on trunk.
Cheers
Andrea
