True, but most of all we value working in the open so that we can both do user testing and find people who might want to contribute. In my book our mistake was not to prioritze issues 306 and 386 until we showed up on HN. Oh well!

Can I suggest not using alpha/beta - they are labels used to indicate the state of a proprietary project - how "polished" it is - whereas you are continuously exploring. if you must I suggest using a target audience - contributors, early adopters. etc etc
