First off - mega congratz to the GeekLog gang for unleashing this thing. You guys are totally the ginchiest !
For the benefit of us GeekLog novices, can you give us a sense of what a stable 1.3.5 in fact means? Does this mean that there won't be a 1.3.5.00b out next week? Or could it mean that if tweaks need to be twoke then we can enter those ourselves without need of reinstalling the whole works? I'm sure I speak for others as well, thanks.

When we release a stable (i.e. production grade) release, that means that you can, in good spirit, upgrade your version of Geeklog knowing full well that that version is ready for use on production sites and will be supported. Does that mean we won't release a 1.3.6 beta next week? No, we very well could. Remember the open source mantra of 'release early, release often'. To be perfectly clear, we do not encourage nor support betas or release candidates and they are not to be used on production sites. Those are release merely to get new code into the hands of the impatient and to get help with testing so we can get that code stable. Hope that clears things up for you.
The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.
