Okay, now I'm gonna touch a subject which will probably start a huge
flamewar. But nevertheless, I want to mention it.
How about calling the upcoming release Blackbox 1.0?
There are some aspects of that:
o The masses think a 1.0 release is better, and more people would
probably use BB now it's out in a 1.0 release, therefore bugs will be
discovered.
o Developer phsycology--even though people claim they don't care,
there is some fundamental phsycology about actually having a 1.0
release. One really feels like something have been closed, a project
have been done, so now new energy can be put into the next move.
After 1.0 we could have 1.0.x releases with bugfixes and 1.1.x for
devel.
o We would also give the impression that development picked up again.
And it did! Souceforge sites, new guy in charge etc. etc. etc.
I for one really don't care, but then again...
If this one already came up I missed it, apologies for that.
