I don't think this needs to be done formally. Any users can package snapshots cq pseudo releases and mark them as test, and release them for feedback. Then process the feedback, triage it, and communicate that back upstream. That's how the really big projects (like distros) work too. Similarly with the various branches of the Linux kernel, where there are often third party builders that track a certain target. So the question should be, when do you think you can release your first pseudo stable snapshot? Throwing it all back to core is useless, since that increasing tasks will only slow development more. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
