i have feeling that we do not understand the alpha state in the same way. to me alpha means we are still feature open, just that we start think about finishing the work. that means list everything we would like to finish and its doable in reasonable time, e.g. zip export, dispatch refactoring etc. so the advantage is that we make devs: * focused more on bugfixing then refactoring or features inveting * focused on finishing things left and * get some feedback from interested testers while still being able to do more drastic changes if some flaw is revealed. > >* Instant preview.

I'll try to come up with a prototype asap. ok. take your time, if we know this is planned, we can postopone betas, no problem. pavel
