To move from ''alpha'' to ''beta'', TiddlyWiki5 needs a better release and deployment process. At a minimum:

* Each release should be automatically assigned a unique revision number, with a simple manual process to bump the major or minor version number
* Each release should be available as a zip download on GitHub and tiddlywiki.com
* A release note for end users should be automatically generated from the commits
** The process should allow for manual editing of the release note
* A clear distinction between a new release of the TW5 core plugins and revised content for the tw5.com website

It would also be nice to have:

* Automatic tweets from @TiddlyWiki announcing each release
