Hey there, I personally am still lacking time on developing ArgoUML (hopefully, I will have some time after my last examination in July), but here are my 2 cents:
- A 1.0 release should definitely support Undo/Redo. I know that this is difficult, but users don't care about that. This is probably the most important feature for today. - A 1.0 release should support UML2. As Thomas stated, we are already years too late on that topic. - Additionally, I think that any B/C breaks should be done when moving from a 0.xx to a 1.0 release. There might be many places where a little of refactoring should be done to improve design and testability. - A minor point might be the GUI, as Thomas already suggested. Making it more comfortable / good looking will attract more users. Personally, I think that a 1.0 release will be just for marketing reasons, but we are not yet ready for that.
