alpha-7 roadmap

alpha-6.2 was the last relase from the 6 series, and completed a wxpython based cluster
configurator.

New releases on this series will just include fixes to existing features.

I'm working hard on alpha-7, fixing issues with the installation procedure, with the ultimate goal of achieving a smooth install and a working takover on FC5.

I noticed that the configuration-wrapper.sh script doesn't always fall back correctly, and there are
probably many more bugs introduced in the recent developments.

However, I hope to make again a usable release (I believe the last was alpha-5, with FC2) for alpha-7 RSN. Like.. next week or something :)

Roadmap:
- update the existing docs
- create documentation for a manual installation
- modularize the network resource sharing code, so that instead of using just a shared IP, the
cluster can also be implemented with dynamic DNS entries (for geographically distributed clusters).
