Digia is ready to co-operate in this area, especially for the binary
packages and installers. As we have been doing the commercial releases,
packaging and installers for different environments, we have expertise in
this area.

I think that it is a good idea to make the Alpha as source only in order
to have it available as soon as possible. Making the binary installers
will take some time, and that work is good to start based on the Alpha so
that we have good installers for the Beta(s).

Yours,
