gideon alpha 4...

[Holger Schröder]

Hi,

i am quite impressed by the progress, which happens in gideon, and as there is 
always the problem, that the developers just want to include this and that 
feature and want to delay the release for only some days, what do you think 
of releasing the next alphas once a week, so that people don´t have to still 
work with alpha 3 now or had to build it from cvs.

for these weekly builds, it should only be tested, if they really compile, and 
everything else is still up to the developers.

i think this would be a good solution to bring a more actual gideon to the 
users. as it is still alpha, people would understand, that this and that 
feature is still missing, and i hope it would also encourage people to test 
it more and report more bugs, as they can be more sure, that the bugs they 
see in their version are still in the cvs head version, as it is only some 
days younger than their version, instead of three months, like alpha 3 is 
now.

that combined with a nice changelog of the enhancements and fixes for that 
week would be really nice...

(to not put more uninteresting work on the real developers, i would volunteer 
to follow the cvs commits and write the changelogs from them...)
