Development Discussion Board

I've always been under the impression that a beta release is one that is open to public testing (while an alpha release was limited to in-house testing). As the CVS snapshots are publicly available (and, judging by the bug tracker, encouraged for testing/bughunting use), are we not already using Oly...

Just about every even faintly established board, I'd imagine.
