Ok. It would be extremely useful if you could commit to some specific date by which FreeTalk will be ready. I know that people hate committing to dates for things, especially when they are volunteering their efforts, but there are legitimate reasons why it would be extremely helpful to have a reasonably solid timeline if we are to generate significant publicity around the release. Even if you were to just give 3 estimates, optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic. Also, are all 10 remaining bugs likely to break backward compatibility in a way that requires that we delay until they are all resolved?
