[Laszlo-dev] I'd like to make the names for deployed OpenLaszlo builds sane

Currently, nightly builds of (active) branches get deployed to http://labs.openlaszlo.org 
  for testing purposes.  They are named 'lps-<version>-nightly',  
usually.  So you will find, for instance:

   http://labs.openlaszlo.org/lps-4.2-nightly/
   http://labs.openlaszlo.org/lps-4.3-nightly/
   http://labs.openlaszlo.org/trunk-nightly/

When we release a version, we deploy it on http://www.openlaszlo.org  
for demonstration and testing purposed.  These are named  
'lps<release>', usually.  So you will find, for instance:

   http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps4.2/
   http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps4.3/

Obviously there is not a trunk _release_, so it will not show up there.

I'd like to propose that we use a more uniform naming scheme:   
openlaszlo-M.N.O, because 'lps' is confusing, as is having different  
schemes of dashes and dots.  Under my new scheme, nightly builds would  
be:

   http://labs.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo-4.3.0/
   http://labs.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo-trunk/

and released builds would be:

   http://labs.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo-4.3.0/

I also propose that there be an alias:

   http://labs.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo-4.3/

which will be the same as the latest point release of that version.   
(So it would be updated to 4.3.1 if there is such a release.)

Note that there is no commitment on the part of OpenLaszlo to maintain  
these deployments.  They are for demonstration and testing purposes  
only.

Comments?
