Re: [actionstep-core] Problem getting menus to work.

[Ron W. <rwh...@ar...>]

You may want to figure out a release strategy and document it on your 
web site near the announcement about downloading the Alpha release. If 
the Alpha release is not a suitable test/development environment, either 
get rid of it or issue a new alpha release.


What is the plan for a beta release? Is there a list of tasks that need 
to be completed before the next release point is reached?
This would at least let us know what does not yet work and what is 
likely to change.
