I understand both your concerns... But I don't believe it has to be the policy that we cannot advertise beta releases on the main page too.
Please be careful with the terminology. There is no such thing as a "beta release". 1.3.5 is the latest (not the greatest with no GA) but we still have a link
to 1.2.x, why? It is kind of silly to a dead branch (there will be no more 1.2) but are unsure to advertise the 1.3.5. If the side bar simply said " 1.3.5 (beta)", people could find it right on the home page and not be confused of its status. Other apache projects (including tapestry and httpd) advertise their beta projects on the home page, so why can't we?
To quote Wendy: "we could mention it on the front page". And your problem with that, again, was...? ;-) -- Martin Cooper Paul

Not until it's a GA release, but we could mention it on the front page below the 1.2.9 section. It is already on the mirrors, in ibiblio, and on the downloads page. If wider distribution doesn't turn anything else up, in a couple of weeks we can consider promoting 1.3.5 to GA status. -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Stay in the know.
