One for the _new things_ (patterns, Xorg 7...) and one for the _new releases_ of already used things (Kde, Gnome)
I think the latter are already tested by they developpers when the first seems already in a very early stage.
I'm disquieted by the "most annoying bugs" list and the _may be_ delayed Alpha 3.
I personnally think that a stable distribution is better .than the very most up to date one.
Hi,
I was also very concerned when I saw the 'most annoying bugs' list today (as I epxected Alpha 3). We have Alpha3. Bugs are expected ;)
Perhaps replacing Alpha with Devel would convey the right message to people, that these releases are development releases that are not feature-complete or in feature-freeze. After feature-freeze they could be called Alpha, Beta...
It would avoid unnecessary discussion and panicking.. not everyone reads the milestone plan like they ought to :-)
Replacing standard mark for development stage Alpha, Beta and RC, with more general "development" will produce panic in more people that will be disoriented in what stage is the project. Only thing that we can do is to point out the definition, that tells: "Alpha is first stage in development, Beta is second, RC, alias Release Candidate, third and last, before Gold Master which is final released version." And of course point to Project Milestones panel on the very Front page. -- Regards, Rajko. Visit http://en.opensuse.org/MiniSUSE
