Since there is no alpha distribution yet, the distro is not publicly available,
but I don't expect Jeremy to delay granting you an access, if you require it.

Ask CK how it feels using an unstable version in production code  I think he
has fared well so far.

Actually, the more people will play with the new source, the more bugs will be
debunked and mercilessly squashed, and the better the language. That's how open
source works.

Being on the dev list is completely independent from having read access to the
svn repository. Don't commit without prior notice, that's perhaps the only rule.
And update often. Twice a day is good, there are times when you'd better doing it
more often.
