How can multiple authors share work while keeping a "pristine" revision for general use
It appears the only way I can see and merge with another author is for that author to publish their version. Only then am I able to see it, merge my edits with it and check it. However, meanwhile this is the most recent version that everyone wishing to download will get and may not yet been thoroughly QA'd. I see a "default" tag on the revisions page. Is there a way I can make a revision that isn't the most recently published be the default so general users can be guaranteed to download a properly functioning version? If not, is there another way for mutliple authors to share and merge work without publishing?

Hi Tick,
We don't support named repository branches yet, which would be the natural solution to this. You could have branches named 'default', 'development', '1.0', '2.0', etc, and users would be able to update to the branch they are interested in.
We plan to add branches support soon. Until then, what you can do is do your development work on another repository, and then pull the changes into your 'golden' repository when you are ready to release the code. See http://mbed.org/handbook/Collaboration/Pulling-changes
Thanks,
Dan
