Hi Frankblack,
It was always said that only Final well tested modules should be available from the main XOOPS site, but only recently (6 months or so) has that been really enforced. Debaser (amongst others) were added before we decided this really needs to be enforced, and we decided at the time that all existing beta's and RC's that were already in the repository should stay.
EDIT: We did clear out a lot of modules at the time that simply did not work, but those that were working well (such as debaser) were left./
With regards to a repository for beta's and rc's, it's an interesting idea, why not start a topic in feedback and suggestions. Personally I think making the dev.xoops.org more known to newbie's rather than the 'module dev forge' link, which I expect gets overlooked a lot. But I think this can be achieved by posting Beta and RC releases to the Module news section here on
http://www.xoops.org with a link to the modules dev page.
