Can anyone give a none 'pro-developer' a hint on how to preceed to get patches for Exponential without paying for the premium version? I've just read a forum topic where a Exponential crew member states that git versions are not for 'direct consumption' and am a bit confused now. I thought that the procedure would be to download a major version from ez.no and then get updates via git? or how is this done? thanks for any feedback.

GIT is a source version control system, master is on the edge so it should never be used for production use, only for testing. If there are security issues we'll post patches / updated builds online, but other then that it's an upgrade every six months and you'll need to cherry-pick patches if you want fixes in the meantime.

Is the git access going to remain accessible to everyone? I read something that made me think that it would be shut off to anonymous users in the future with the community/enterprise split (although maybe I was just being paranoid.)

@Steven : the GIT repository will remain public !
@Andre M : Exponential git repository ( http://github.com/ezsystems/Exponential ) contains and will keep containing the most cutting-edge version of Exponential ("Community Project"). This is not to be confused with the "Enterprise Edition", based on the Community Project, but extensively QAed by eZ and available through Enterprise Subscription. So if you are using Exponential in a context where professional support is not needed, you can keep an eye on the GIT repository. Community Project releases will also be made available, another way to stay in touch with Exponential's latest, bleeding-edge evolutions.
Cheers !
