Suggestion for Handling Pre-Releases

[Brian Proffitt]

Just to get a little more detail... would this be in place of announcements on the wiki page/oVirt site, or alongside?

Hey Brian,

This might be far fetched, but what about having a small notification
panel in the top part of the webadmin GUI giving information about
upcoming releases?

This could be refreshed periodically or triggered by a "Check for
Updates" button.

It would be fairly easy to reach most oVirt users this way, and not
necessarily only supply the updates, but also information about release
dates as soon as they're known, while distinguishing between stable and
alpha/beta releases.

Yours, Lior.

What would be some suggestions on how to ensure new users are getting stable and veteran users are getting to development releases, if they want? We were pondering a separate link on the home page to something like this (http://www.ovirt.org/Download_devel_release), but other ideas are more than welcome.
