The direct consequence is that OpenSyllabus is made of different components which are not at the same level of maturity. In April of 2009, we are about to start a BETA Beta testing of OSYLEditor whose development started more than a year ago, and at the same time, OSYLManager and OSYLAdmin whose features are not yet fully specified are clearly at alpha-level (for the features which have been released).
...
From now, OpenSyllabus will use version numbers based on date of release. Consequently a release made in April 2009 will bear the version 9.404. In May 2009 the version will be 9.505, and so on.
This table shows revision numbers associated to version 9.04, for each component.

This way of giving a version number based on the date is used by Ubuntu.
