This (IMNSHO ;)) is perfectly fair to users. I agree and wish that many people will be using it, yet if the thing is going through such a massive bugfixing as the one you are outlining: > The fact is that bugfixes are very very frequent, 'cause we're > dealing with an undocumented (badly anyway) file format and > many M$ product versions. this makes me wonder why POI is labeled as 1.0 if there is such a huge amount of needed patches going on... in second place this might lead to undesired countereffects, with users having to resort to CVS updates to get a working Cocoon+POI setup. In other words: are we targeting users (which means stable tree + included jars) or developers/hackers? If we go for the second than people that can use CVS can also live with a scratchpad component. Again, I don't want to be harsh and I want you to understand that I'm all in POI's side. It's just that every reply that you give worries me even more :) Ciao, -- Gianugo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
