As the Beta repo is included in the master repo list, most users will
automatically have it presented to them in their download managers in the
various frontends available. I know that there was a fair bit of pressure for
PS to have Beta available, as there are several languages that only have Bibles
available in Beta and not in the primary one (Japanese being one example), and
so I did include it from v1.0, even though I renamed it to "CrossWire 2"
(naming the primary one "CrossWire 1"). :)
But, as we are talking about repositories again, it might be a nice time to hit
the gong about pulling our av11n modules out of experimental and make them
available for our users! I have had a few more requests since the last time I
rang the gong... :)
Thanks heaps, ybic
nic... :)
ps: My opinion is that frontends should have a means of sorting modules in
their download managers by language, and so having a large number of modules in
languages you don't understand shouldn't be a problem, as you simply look for
modules in the languages you are after. :) In fact, I made the decision with
PS (for v1.0) to only list modules from one language at a time, which may or
may not be the best way to do things, but I picked that at the start and don't
have time to go back and revisit it at this point...
pps: As for "release early, release often", I'm of the opinion of: "if you’re
not embarrassed when you ship your first version you waited too long." taken
