I think we should do a special image for now as long as the update stream is not working... (I'l do one tonight or tommorow)
This might actually at some point be a good idea to have "even more unstable" images than alpha in general, like in linux: Andrew Morton releases his own experimental kernel, and many changes actually are tested in this kernel before they are getting added to the main line.
For everyone interested in Open Source Management, there is a very nice talk from Andrew at itconversations.com:

Overall an interesting course in how to do successfull open source management.

Hi all
Some news from the harvesting battle front. We have been harvesting (morphic splitters and a lot of stuff) and avi and daniel fixing/enhancing MC to help us.
(script 1) morphic splitter (script 2) deprecated + CurrentProjectRefactoring + collection tests (script 3) explore label + print fixes + Network fixes+ starMorph + SMloadder + double initialize (script4) Removed dictionary fixes + Delay class comment + TTCFont speedup + menuMorph enh + handMorph cursor enh
We are not yet able to push a new image in the ftp but....
you can take 6693 take MC 274 then load ScriptLoader from squeakfoundation source and execute script 3 (I'm testing script4 right now) after a while you should get a popup with a list of methods but no merge (no method in bold/underline) press merge, you will get some dirty packages but this is not a problem (this is a MC bug).
I hope that avi and daniel will be able to fix the popup of useless merge and the problem with the dirty packages.
Ideally we would like to be able to manage the harvesting as much as possible with MC: we plan to have - "caches" image (just to avoid that you have all the process all the files) we should be able to always reproduce these images taking a script and a previous cs image. - "cs" or "update stream" image, a cs image is an image that we cannot reproduce only with MC, but requires the use of the udpate stream.
