Agree whole-heartedly, if i'd stuck with 0.9.8a and installed 0.9.9 as a "beta" test program I could have still enjoyed the occassional bit of flying and also delved into (and learnt more with a view to perhaps eventually contributing constructively to) the workings of FGFS.
Just look at the contributions in the various threads, there are a wealth of people wanting to make this the best FS out ( not saying its not already!!!)
Cheers Dene

CVS-snapshots won't do, I think. Most of the normal users will only install something when they've seen a version number go up. Look at K3b or amaroK: they have releases just about every month. In my opinion that is the way to go: treat all of the userbase as betatesters. Those that want stability can simply stay with a version that works well for them. Is it really that much work to make a release, Curt? When once all is scripted and such? Having more timely releases would also bring FlightGear to the frontpages more often, attracting probably some more users...
