Well I'm interested in seeing the result :}. And I'll happily accept patches / even tweak the odd thing in setup to accomodate your needs. I can't commit the time needed to do release testing or policy documentation though. You'll also need a setup program to install your 'stable distribution'. (*) Rob (*) setup.exe can be reused, but you *will* need some changes to teach it that there is a stable distribution, and the unstable distribution. My thought on the prev / curr / test buttons has been to treat them like distributions, but there was a lot of resistance when I suggested that. So currently there is not separation between the three. IF there is community support, I'm happy to have setup present 'stable' , 'curr' and 'testing/exp' and have an (optionally) hard barrier between stable and curr.
