+1. Doing releases to attract new contributors is essential to podlings
who need to build a diverse developer community to exit the incubator.
Wicket doesn't have that issue :-)
IMHO we need to alter the process so that we have an explicit audit
when the community feels (by vote) that it has a build process in
place. the code doesn't need to be ready but the build does and the
codebase needs to be ready for audit.
