I believe that it didn't earn the "Beta" status just because of problems arose inside the procedure leading to release/publishing, not because of the product quality. TC meeting rightly identified most of the missing/not-well-managed factors involved though. That said, some humble considerations: Other than a full list of specifications (it was as usual very well and professionally documented), from a user's pov I'd like to read a shorter one listing the "changelog" from A1 to A2. Something more "user-friendly" that make me curious to see improvements and willing to try and discover them. Since it should have been originally a beta release there are some important changes, they should be highlighted. Testers and bug-hunters are an invaluable treasure, without them we cannot release our distro at top standard (and we'll make poor figures too.. :P ) I'd like to dedicate (yes, every time) a couple of rows to thank them. Wdyt? -- ____________________ Best regards, Cristina
