wiki != project website
I think this sounds completely reasonable for a wiki page, and anyone
can edit easily. Good suggestion.

Is there an opportunity to consider a separate "upcoming release testing"
type page with downloads to alpha releases? Sounds like, as per letter of
the law, we wouldn't that on the official project page but getting
something going where we can have project-wide "test out this alpha" or
where individual devs could post builds of a feature they're working on at
similar milestones (alpha, beta, etc) might be helpful in terms of getting
a healthier dev <-> user feedback cycle going on some things. Maybe a wiki
page with this type of information?
Ultimately I'd like to see a way for us to reduce friction to users getting
involved in the testing of C* if possible without crossing that line into
risking people running alpha code on accident in a production environment.

I will also add that I did send the user@ list 4.0-alpha release notes,
along with dev@, and also added to the @cassandra tweet last week. I
thought those were acceptable to get a little wider audience, but didn't
want to link from downloads page, since this is explicit.

"During the process of developing software and preparing a release,
various packages are made available to the developer community for
testing purposes. Do not include any links on the project website that
might encourage non-developers to download and use nightly builds,
snapshots, release candidates, or any other similar package. The only
people who are supposed to know about such packages are the people
following the dev list (or searching its archives) and thus aware of the
conditions placed on the package. If you find that the general public
are downloading such test packages, then remove them."

I think this is a good idea. I am +1 on making this more discoverable
on our website. Please add instructions to report bugs and give us
feedback around it.

I noticed we don't currently list the alpha in the downloads section.
Anyone object if I add the relevant information after the "Older
supported
releases" section in the downloads page? I'd make it clear that this
is
alpha and non-production release, and we're soliciting feedback.
