+Ok, having discussed on IRC with DjeZAel further about this, it seems
+some people advertise the release to be available (because they
+believe it to be and they don't check) and to be usable for everyone
+(for the same reasons of not caring enough to check what's happening).
+
+That's life so we have to prepare &amp; square our message to start to
+talk about the release before it happens.
+
+So here is the situation at this very time:
+ * we won't release an ISO by January; we are late, although we are
+really reaching the point to be able to build an ISO;
+ * that we *can* build and release an ISO does not mean that it is for
+everyone to use; again, this first alpha will be of no interest for
+most people outside of the project.
+
+Let's sync with founders this evening about this (or tomorrow) as to
+post on -discuss, Twitter and our blog (at least) a statement about
+this:
+ * don't promise what you don't know about this release;
+ * do not market this release outside of the project; it will be of no
+interest outside of the project; it will be announced nonetheless, but
+not as a general, usable release;
+ * do not reclaim for download mirrors when there is not even a
+release announced; be consistent;
+ * please be very careful about the release message as it impacts the project.
+
+Advice?
+
+Cheers (and thanks DjeZAel for reporting this)
