[wp-hackers] WP Development & Production Sites

[Vid Luther]

I'm sorry, so what's the URL supposed to be in development, staging, and production? and how are clients who don't know how to right click, supposed to get to the staging url? 

I agree this has been discussed to death on this list, but the lack of an official "this is how we recommend you go from dev -> stage -> prod" page, keeps getting people confused and making their own home grown solutions.
