Not in contrary. To publish early is the kings way, if you develop in a
communty. Bugs can be fixed early before it is to late. That is also true
in this case. To publish it now is one of the better ideas.

But even an alpha version of a community platform doesn't belong onto a
private page, but below typo3.org. I will not be the last one to be
irritated and worried by this procedure.

The deployment has a severe bug. Fix it soon. 

Additional mayor functionality like public accessable infomation parts and
helpfull documentation is missing. A development of such a state we
typically set to alpha. In open source a beta should be a version of enogh
functionality to be called a product and with full documentation in a
testing phase.
