Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-16375:
---------------------------------------------

Just to be clear (repeating what discussed during 1-o-1's). The early access stuff shouldn't go in before we got some basic concensus on how it should work.

I'm still waiting to be shown the PR or example on how the earlyaccess is intended to be defined/added. Lets start with that since that affects the most.

I agree the certification field can be used but lets get some screenshot/screencast produced on how this will work since we need buyin from QE and GSS on this fetaure.

> In order to make it easier for people to consume some "Beta" extensions from JBT or JBDS release (such as installing a Beta of JBT-IS on top of a JBT release), it would make sense to have Central allow users to select some catalogs in a UI entry such as "Include Experimental stuff" to show additional catalog entries.
> Either this could be a single catalog with the experimental content being annotated, or it could be 2 (or more catalogs) which have different quality levels.
> The Central UI will need to give feedback on the quality level for a given entry ("supported" or "experimental" or ...).
