Improving the documentation cannot hurt. New sections are certainly okay. Classifying things as alpha,beta,stable etc. might require reclassifying some of the existing packages (which I would not call stable for lack of active support.)

The lush development is very incremental. A new release would be right around now because we have a reasonable support for MacOSX.  We could make releases much more often, but it is difficult to choose any particular point...

Other kind of packages could be useful of course. I always recommend using lush cvs, directly compiled from the source directory. Binary packages are a bit  alien to that concept. But this is what people expect nowadays.

Hi all,

I am wondering if it would be okay to add new sections to the sourceforge files.
Specifically, a documentation section for beta stuff or, somewhere down the line,
localizations.

Perhaps a section for unstable versions--alpha, beta, RCs.

And what about having the base package available in other formats?
I would suggest tar.bz2 and zip.

There are some RPMs available for Lush (Mandriva has a recent version for 1.1),
but can the project have its own generic one? I can help with this being that I am
familiar with making RPMs.

Your thoughts (Leon, Yann)...

Thanks.

Raymond


P.S. Is there a time line/plan for an upcoming 1.2 version soon?
