Let's do it like Chrome, where we roll out a new major version number every couple of weeks! :) > I believe we decide when we are stable.

Well, it *was* fairly stable, in times passed, but right now isn't one of those times. > Big refactorings of the core is a major version leap.

I agree that that's a possibility; that we could call the existing code "1.0" and then use "2.0" for the refactoring. It just didn't really turn out that way. Now, I think I get your point about version numbers and public perception. Whenever I'm browsing Sourceforge, and I see a version number like "0.10" or "0.28", I figure that the software is still only in its "proof of concept" stage, that most features are unimplemented, many things don't work right, and that it crashes frequently. In short, I figure that it will be more frustrating to try to use it that it would be to not use it at all. JSL isn't quite *that* bad, but I do find the UI to be very counter-intuitive and I see lots of run-time exceptions thrown in the console. If "1.0" is earned just by merely doing something useful and doing it fairly reliably, then I'd put the current code at about 0.85 or 0.90. But this a rather moot point, to me. I really don't care how many other users we have. I want JSL to be useable to *me*, and I'll work to make it that way. So, I don't really care if we call it "0.01" forever. - Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
