Description
I've noticed the current graphic for the Installer and About screens in Haiku Nightly builds has the Haiku logo and red text reading "Development" - would it be better if we change that to "Nightly" just to make the terminology more consistent and prevent people from potentially being confused?
Additionally, I've noticed the Version labels in Trac also read R1/Development - might be good to rename that to R1/Nightly - again, so as not to confuse people with two different terms.
Thanks in advance!

Subtle differences. Any non-release build is a "Development" build. We could add "weekly" and "monthly" images alongsinde the "nightly", and all those would still be "Development" builds. Anyway, the typical nightly users won't be confused by the logo in the about window.
I'm not sure this is the right way to look at it. A "Development" build is any build that's not done with the "release" profile, from any hrev that's not officially tagged to be a release. A "Nightly" is built with the "nightly" profile from one specific hrev (though quite arbitrarily chosen when the buildbot is ready for another build.
In other words, every "Nightly" build is a "Development" build, but not vice-versa.
