As with 0.10 Alpha we released last fall, we’ve tried to make the 1.0 Alpha as stable as possible, but since this is an alpha release for testing and feedback from the Omeka community, we advise you not to use this on a production site. Instead, copy your database from a preexisting Omeka site, or create a separate install to try it out. If you do check it out and would like to provide feedback to the Omeka team, please post to the Alpha Release forum or join the Omeka-Dev group on Google Groups.
So, go download Omeka 1.0 Alpha and tell us what you think!
