[ome-devel] Re: [ome-users] HTML Templates

[Ilya Goldberg]

Hi all
Hopefully this is obvious to everyone, but I want to avoid any  
misunderstanding just in case:
We maintain our code repository open to the public, but this is a  
"live" code base being used by our developers.  The software on CVS (in  
HEAD) is not tested very extensively, and should be considered  
experimental.  Eventually we stop developing new functionality and go  
into extensive testing and bug-fixing mode which culminates in a stable  
release.  Occasionally we make announcements about significant new  
functionality in the CVS code base.  The purpose of these is to recruit  
people to try new things out (on a development or experimental server -  
not in production!) and give us feedback.  In fact doing this is one of  
the most valuable ways for people to get involved in OME without being  
or becoming OME developers.

To summarize:  Treat the code in CVS-HEAD as experimental.  Its not  
meant for general use.  For general use, please use the stable releases  
(currently 2.4.0).
Enjoy!
Ilya
