Sam would be the one to publish the tarball, but anyone can generate an unofficial alpha tarball, and I'd encourage that.
How would unofficial alpha tarballs carry any weight with anyone if there isn't a direct path from alpha to release? It seems like that is just encouraging forking, something that I'm trying to avoid.
It's not forking. It's helping with the pre-release practice.
Agreed.
And, as you can imagine, when I have some time (this coming weekend?) I'll try to put together a alpha 1.20 tarball.
I want whoever we hand the keys to build some trust in with everyone else that they are going to release a quality product before anointing them. Or rather, before I can recommend we do it; it's not solely my decision.
Thanks for clarifying, this seems completely reasonable..
Mark.
