this is another great idea. If you really belive in the Community
contribution, I think it should be normal to release development (even
daily builds) images. This is what happens usually with a Linux
distribution: final user, for example, will install Ubuntu when it's
officially out, but power-users and community contributor can install
the development version and help with testing and bug reporting.

I think that Nokia could be more open in Maemo development and this is
a solid example.
