[JAWSLite] Re: Fw: jaws update;

Weekly releases seem a bit too frequent to me. I don't know what the 
right interval would be, but I'd wonder how FS got enough testing in on 
each update if they were coming out every week. Just putting out a 
release involves a certain amount of overhead, and FS needs to figure 
out the right balance between more frequent releases and minimizing the 
overhead associated with testing and distributing each release.
