I think you're right that that's one thing that's stopping wider adoption. I guess the question really is, what do we need to have done to be ready for 1.0 ? I also think one click install on share hosting will help. I have a friend who's offered to put Habari in front of his 90,000 shared host clients once one click install works; it might already, I have no idea what's required. The demo site is incredibly important. I respond to many comments a day from Twitter, FriendFeed, identi.ca, and if I could point people at a kickarse demo site, that would be huge. Plugin and theme content types on hp.o are essential. People just don't know what's available now. We're not too far away from a plugin directory and getting hpm working, which will be great. We need to convince a site with a lot of traffic to move to Habari. It doesn't have to be huge, but someone with a bit of profile. It would be great if we could get someone like The Inquisitr to work with us to perfect multi-author blogging. The fact that plugins far outnumber themes in -extras shows our community is still (naturally) developer heavy. If we could get some designers to release some great themes to even up the numbers a bit, that would be a big help. -- Michael C.
