Hi Mickael,

Thanks for bringing this up. My opinion about this is the following:

snapshot < yuk (maven lingo)
It does not have any status. I like nightly: everything we did during the
day will be available the next day because we build overnight. (It is not
easy btw to find a time where it is night everywhere ;) This is the
standard in eclipse download naming. You also see "latest" which is fine by
me too.

Maybe we should not label as "proper", "release" or "main". Just Nebula.

Incubation is crisp and clear:

So my vote would be on:

http://d.e.o/technology/nebula/
http://d.e.o/technology/nebula/nightly
http://d.e.o/technology/nebula/incubation
http://d.e.o/technology/nebula/otherprojects/..

We could also include some eclipse release name. (indigo/helios)

Regards,

Wim
