It had to happen <grin> ... Russ has posted the link to the pre-alpha download of spaces. Bad, bad Russ! :-))

Seriously though, the idea with keeping the pre-alpha to the mailing list only was to weed out some inevitable installation problems and find bugs or "issues" which I might have missed (also inevitable) in a slightly more controlled environment (than a release on the site) which would help me deal with the input without drowning in it. Russ, if you're reading this, can you add a link to the mailing list from your post, particularly for people that are having problems or want to comment? Thanks!. And post the link he did. :-)
