It is probably not my place to interfere here, but please: For us users using Openoffice all day, and who choose not to keep the 'other' Office as a fall back, it is important to see the number of bugs steadily decreasing. As always a new version introduces new features, and new bugs as well, and the user experience does not always make a leap forward. Please take the opportunity of introducing the new version 3.0 with as much old bugs fixed as possible, even if it means delaying the introduction of 3.0!Ferry, One way you yourself can raise the quality of the final release is by volunteering with the QA project[1] to report new and triage existing bugs.

I agree with Ferry's attitude, the OpenOffice.org project needs to be the highest quality software that we, as project, can provide. This may mean slippage of the release date, but not by months and months. We should attempt to find and eliminate as many problems as we can with the beta cycle and maybe even work through a couple of release candidates before unleashing a general availability release. All known errors should be documented and have a possible and plausible fix release target.
