I think this is a very good idea - we'd got positively
'cathedral' like - thansk for stirring it up Andrew :-).

Just one suggestion - rather than bumping the release
rev number each week do you think we should attach a
date in YYYYMMDD style format to the version string ?

That way people will know these versions haven't gone
through *any* QA (essentially) and when we start getting
close to "stable" we can go back to the version number
releases.

Let me know what you think,

Cheers,

	Jeremy.
