Perhaps the releases section could be fleshed

roadmap?), and our release process (ie, what we agree to in HADOOP-1161).
I agree that all this stuff should be somewhere prominent on the site,
but we need to be careful not to mix developer documentation with
end-user documentation. In particular, the concern is that end-users
should not be encouraged to build from subversion, use nightly builds,
etc. Releases are ASF products, with certain legal guarantees, and
other builds are not ASF products, but only for ASF-internal use.
Developers are considered ASF insiders for this purpose. This policy
saves us if, e.g., something legally suspect sneaks into subversion so
long as it is removed before a release.
Doug, can you remind me why we don't ship hadoop-default or
hadoop-site config file that fulfills the "pseudo distributed
configuration" on this overview page page?
No good reason. We could include a confg/pseudo-cluster.xml file, that
folks could use with 'bin/hadoop -conf conf/pseudo-cluster.xml ...'.
