Then we should start to distinguish between nightly development builds
and snapshot 'milestone' builds that have undergone some additional
manual testing.

Agreed.  I feel that we all muddled through creating the last snapshot.

It would be good to have a few developer builds under our belt before we
get to a real release, in order to iron out the procedure.  It should
include a stability period to test the heck out of it and triage
failures, get the doc up to date, vote, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if it took us about three developer build cycles
to get it all just right.

Tim

Yep - what we have now are still snapshots, in reality.

We should probably start formally doing the "developer build" - the  
one that is voted and tested.  Good step forward for us.
