The biggest success was to install a consensus that the pre-release phase should last at least two weeks. To my opinon two _months_ would be appropriate for such a complex piece of software that runs on so many different platforms and is maintained by such a small developer base. Unfortunately I didn't manage to crowd a significant number of supporters for this idea.</RANT>
Guess why the next release is 0.9.9 and not 1.0 and why 1.0 is released early next year?
Actually there were times when I got on everyones nerves by continuously pointing at bugs or inconsistencies that I was unable to fix myself. Finally I realized that only reporting or documenting bugs (whereas the latter is a _really_ time-consuming task !!) without providing a fix was not that much welcome and I decided to engage with my own sub-projects that I am capable of running without external help.
Well, pointing to bugs might be useful when there are enough developers to fix them. It is just recently that we have enough developers who are willing to fix bugs.
