Mind you, building an end-user community is not an incubation priority. We
care about IP and development community, and the latter ought to be able to
participate directly from source control. Specifically, a comment like "it
is important to get out official (incubation) release files soon since users
and developers are waiting for a release to base their productive
environments on" makes me nervous. We don't want people assuming that code
in the Incubator has the same imprimatur as code from ASF projects. I try
to avoid the term "release" in connection with anything related to the
Incubator because in Jakarta terminology, a "Release Build" is an official
production package, and that is not going to come from the Incubator. The
focus ought to be on being able to leave the incubator, not putting out
builds. But insofar as having feedback helps to build the developer
community, that's worth supporting, IMO, so long as the nature of being in
the Incubator is properly marked and explained.
Perfect. I was reading through this thread and going to make the point if no one else did, but you did it as I would have, so I'll just add...
