I'll pose it as a separate question?

Separate thread... (not much respoose there though, people are busy
discussing the renaming)
What do we call the CVS/SVN version so that normal users can relate?
'unstable'? 'Development snapshop'?
Development snapshot. As Jean-Marc wrote yesterday our initial purpose
was that the development snapshot would never be unstable for more than
short periods, if at all.
Eh... I thought the stuff from SVN was unstable more or less all the
time??? The file format can change randomly for instance, right?

Ok, I'll play along and pretend that trunk is stable most of the time. In
that case I guess calling it 'development snapshot' makes sense to me,
although I'm not sure regular users understand it. OTOH, if the word
'development' doesn't scare them, nothing will ::)
Thanks
