[nebula-dev] Nebula Wording

Hi all,

Just for a matter of wording, here are some terms I think are confusing/wrong/ugly in current Nebula discussions:
* "nightly" for buils: that's wrong, they pull the SCM and build whenever they see a change. I prefer the word "snapshot", which more reflects what it the result of the build. Moreover, "nightly" is a term from the past, there is no more need for scheduled builds now thanks to CI servers (except for specific cases, but Nebula is not part of them)
* "release" for the Nebula most mature widgets: even incuabation widgets will perform releases, so it will be quite easy for consumers to get confused with what release means.
* "proper" because it reminds me of Mister Proper, and makes me think incubation widgets are dirty, and that's not very cool to say that for people who developed them, and it is bad marketing for end-users.

So here are some suggestions:
* nightly -> Snapshot
* proper/release -> Main
* incubation -> incubation

Let's the debate start!
