Well, if you're looking for user input, I'd like to put a vote in for
making a beta release with the current feature set cleaned up to a
reasonable degree and put off adding new features for the next beta. Having
done this kind of development myself I am very familiar with the "one more
feature" feeling, but at some point you just have to lay down the tag. :)
Of course, I'm speaking from a selfish perspective since I have a new
project that I'd like to use htdig on that needs at least a semblance of
phrase searching capability, and b2 still has some quirks that I'm not
comfortable with. I'd also like to put a nice stable beta in the FreeBSD
ports tree, which I think will help speed acceptance of it and get you a
bunch more vict^H^H^H^H testers involved in the project.
