Let's see if I can channel Tim correctly: "The number of people who have historically downloaded beta and candidate releases indicates that it's unlikely that people will download pre-alpha releases." OTOH, David Goodger has been reasonably successful with docutils having snapshots. It's certainly a worthwhile question about whether people would be more likely to download beta and candidate releases if snapshots were regularly available. -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Weinberg's Second Law: If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization.
