I'd like to release the beta, too. But I think it's important we release 
*something*, which is why I'm proposing we release next week and we just 
decide on what to call it.

Can those be all done and ready by Wednesday? So we can generate packages

Assuming that the testing on Thursday reveals no problems, we can release the

Agreed. But more importantly, we need to get *something* out so we can get 
feedback from users.
