I haven't absorbed the full thread, nor do I have a constructive
proposal, but I'd like to note that I dislike the use of "Preview"
unfortunately.

Currently, much of the "street vibe" is that OSAF has been around a long
time but (as I saw in an outside thread recently) "has never produced
anything anyone can use".

I'm afraid that "Preview" continues to promote that message.  "Great, a
Preview; here's another in a long line of "sneak peaks" at what OSAF may
someday do".

I'd prefer a message that, "it's rough, but it's Real now; not just a
preview".  Beta at least implies "real, ready, try it out now".

More pondering to do...
