asterisk users - Feb 2007 - "Trunk" version of Asterisk?

Quite a few documents, including voip-info, make reference to this term. 
(e.g., "First, You need trunk version of Asterisk.")  But I can't
seem to
find anything that defines this.  In SVN, "trunk" simply refers to the
main
body of code.  Can someone explain this?

You just did. "trunk" is the development branch, not yet released  
code. Not recommended for production.
http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk/

We currently have the 1.4 release version, soon to be released in a  
1.4.1 version with a lot of bugfixes.

1.2 is will soon be put in "security maintenance mode", meaning we  
will only change it for security
reasons.

Releases are to be found as .tar.gz files on ftp.digium.com

At this stage, I do not recommend using 1.4.0 in production - it's  
too buggy. Play with 1.4 from subversion,
report bugs, test it - help us make sure that 1.4.1 is a good  
product, tested by the community.
