[TxMt] Too much TM2?

[Justin Catterall]

It seems that many many people have jumped on the TM2 alpha. The  
consequence of this is that there has been a rush of TM2 questions,  
some of which ignore Allan's request not to post general feedback,  
some of which would be answered if the poster would read the message  
on textmate-dev Allan linked in a post yesterday, some of which would  
be answered in the blog or release notes.

I don't think I've seen a question yet that, bearing in mind this is  
*alpha* software, is sensible to post or meets the criteria of being  
what the devs want to know about.

Would the powers that be consider a new mailing list? "TM2  
testers" (or similar) so that the "TM users" list can concentrate on  
issues, or queries users have with only the current release of TM.  
This would naturally migrate once TM2 is released to the world.

I'm not going to upgrade to alpha software, I'll also avoid early beta  
releases too, as I'm sure many others, like myself, who do not have  
time to deal with the inevitable problems of using such 'new',  
software will do. Allan and the dev team have my full support, and  
I'll be glad to test release candidates when they say it's almost  
ready for public consumption. But in the mean time, this list is going  
to become, at best distracting, at worst very difficult to use for  
those trying to get help with TM1 issues if so many posts are related  
to an unreleased version.
