From my point of view there is no reason for postponing your improvements. I would appreciate if you could post patches or at least ideas. I do not see how just waiting of release could help to create it. What is missed for creating of the new beta? If it is lack of tests, let us publish a new alpha and wait for new bug reports. I think that not a "lack of discipline" but lack of process is the main reason for the delay. I mean that efforts of developers and other community members could be better coordinated by clearly formulating of the next tasks, defining responsibilities and communicating the progress. What do YOU think?
