This nothing to say that a >alpha release has to be perfect. In fact the expectation would be that it >still needs work and is relatively untested/has bugs etc etc We are prepping for a 0.0.1 release. We just finished ASDoc. I want to get a checkintest working before making release candidates. Yes, folks will hopefully be understanding about quality, but you still only get one chance to make a first impression. > >Seems to me we using the installer to avoid making official Apache >releases.

Making official releases more often (even if they >are alphas/betas) gets people involved and shows progress. Well, I don't agree with that characterization. I think I'm just trying to get enough pieces together so the release, even as a 0.0.1, has enough pieces to be usable. Like an Installer, for instance. Otherwise, we risk folks trying it, calling it a toy, and not following anymore. I actually hope to release quite often after we get a 0.0.1 out, which hopefully will be soon after I get an installer out. -Alex
