You are correct - we are not making our alpha release available to
new testers. We received lots of good feedback, went back and fixed
a bunch of stuff, and are preparing a public beta release.

Soon :). We're in the final Q/A stages of the beta release and doing
some of the final paperwork all the institutions require for software
releases. After many years of doing LAM/MPI releases (and now Open
MPI releases), I'm hesitant to give a firmer response than that -- it
tends to guarantee that whatever I say won't come true. As for our
future release plans beyond the beta, you might want to take a look
at the mailing list archives from last month.
