+1 with Andi, with some thoughts: """ We're four years late in the 2002 promise of getting a user-ready release out the door. During this time, we haven't much worked with the outside world apart from a committed group of about a dozen very early adopters. It is high time we switch gears and become more responsible to our users:"""
--> early birds on 0.7.x (any of 0.7 release cycle)? """The last thing we need, though - right now - is another big bang, another let's start from scratch with a new approach project. Instead, I think that we should improve, refactor, excise, rebuild, replace, small and large parts of the software that need it one piece at time.""" --> radical improvement as soon as a feature is delivered? """We've been promised funding until the end of 2008.""" Then we need a strong user base by then. """OSAF's ultimate goal, I think, should be a community of itchy hackers creating, supporting and maintaining open source applications for the general public and not just for themselves.""" Andi, my vision is _minimally slightly_ different from yours as I mean both for the general public (_users_) and _application developers_. Heikki: +1 when she says: We could get big improvements by having a small task force rewrite/rearchitect pieces (like UI) of the app while the rest of the team fixes regular bugs and builds new features.
