Why don't we just slip 0.6 to 25 July 2009. One full calendar year after the last major release. We should be able to get something close to perfection ready by then.
Do you remember when Monolith was just dropped on the world and the flurry - no sorry frenzy of coding activity - that followed it ? Maybe Owen is drawing a line in the sand hoping for a similar flurry of activity to address some of those 77 tickets ? I hear what you say about a poor quality release alienating and possibly losing potential Habari users. But seriously, I think some people outside of the project think Habari is dead. Or lying, motionless on life support. On Mar 17, 5:50 pm, Chris Meller <[email protected]> wrote: > I've said it before, I'll say it again... 0.6 is not ready.
