The perfect is the enemy of the good. We'll never release perfect software. Every single release we make will contain bugs and shortcomings. We need to evaluate the list of bugs to identify those that are real impediments to the function of the software. Bugs affecting large numbers of users obviously need attention. Bugs that affect users of a single browser, in limited circumstances, might be annoying and somewhat tarnish the project's reputation; but they're not release-critical bugs in my mind. > 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.
