We already only post source tar link in website. They are potential developers, because they code plugins for many open source or commercial libs.

We didn't want to release too often, like 1-2 weeks per releaae. Because that will burn the dev and ipmc people to do vote and check again and again. ?9?8 So we keep the release per 1 or 2 months. And let developer to build by themself. Btw, they perfer GitHub because it is easier to pull request new plugin and bug fix.

So point them to the official releases and don??t promote the use of GitHub over other official channels, especially to users. I was surprised by that page when I saw instructions for GitHub first. Why would your users want to use unreleased source code? That should really only be for active contributors and committers on the project. > Background story is, in our project repository, we are using git submodule, > so we need the guide as detailed as possible.
