Today, I received permission to disclose that Alina & Pashmina's team has 88 of 
their modules ready for release (tested and validated by their QA team).  They 
still have more modules to migrate before they deliver to their customer, but 
it is a good sign that the emulation is sufficient for many needs.

Once I can merge the "has" branch and re-stabilize, I will hope that's the last 
big change we need for a while.  I have heard that there are other migration 
efforts underway using migration and I'm sure they will keep finding bugs, but 
I'm feeling better about the emulation code.

    Every day, I hope to hear news that Alina & Pashmina or Serkan or somebody 
else has deployed a production app using the MXRoyale and/or Spark Royale 
emulation components.  But instead, I see more bugs being filed for "obvious" 
things. You can look at the issues list of open and fixed issues and the 
commits that fixed them to get a feel for it.  Each of us has their own 
threshold of how good a 1.0 version should be, so if more of you can look at 
these bugs and think it is ok for a 1.0 to have these problems, then great, 
let's release the next version as 1.0, but when I try to remember what Flex 1.0 
was like, I think it didn't have these kinds of problems.
    
    As Carlos said below, we get one chance to make a good first impression, so 
I am being conservative.  But it isn't my decision alone.  It is really up to 
the rest of you.

        Hi Piotr,
        
        I'm afraid my perception is that we need to get to 1.0 in a natural 
way. I
        mean: releasing 1.0 and giving exposure in all ways we can (webs, social
        media, magazines,...), means people will try us. If they try and fail, 
will
        never come back. So think about this as "only on bullet in your gun", if
        you fail de shot, that will be bad for all the work we are done. I'm ok 
to
        release 1.0 as soon as we see from "bird eye perspective" that all 
things
        work as we expect.
        
        For me that things are:
        
        * Documentation will need to have at least some missing pages of 
features
        like: DataBindnig, Loading External Data (HTTPSerice, RemoteObject, 
JSON),
        View States, Item Renderers. Things like this are essential.
        * Emulation components need to be in a shape that allow migrations in a
        good degree. I think people approaching direct migration with emulation
        components will many issues. I don't take into account look and feel of
        emulation components, just functionality and working from a flex code
        perspective, and just normal use cases with MX/Spark code, not third 
party
        libraries that we have no control over. Simple apps like TDF, and 
examples
        should work.
        
        If we decided we want to bypass the previous, at least we need to ensure
        "first try" of Royale for a newcomer (someone that knows very few about 
the
        tech) is successful. This is most important things of all. The other two
        are needed if we want people does not get frustrated and have solutions 
on
        their own and stay with us. The opposite is people can have a first try
        successful but abandon Royale due to unfinished things.
        
        I think 0.9.7-SNAPSHOT captures in a realistic number where we are.
        Technology works, and most people using it now can do lots of things, 
but
        we still need to cover some things to reach that 1.0. We are not too far
        but I think is still some month in the future.
        
        just my 2 :)
