Personally, I'd like to see Lazarus and FPC start to move forward and

it's history and stalled 1.0, I don't blame any noob, experienced
developer or business that makes an informed decision to avoid this
toolchain.
The problem I see is credibility... or "if we write a lot of code with
Lazarus/FPC, will it be maintainable with the project in perpetual
beta?".
ACK.
IMO it's time to provide a 1.0 version for the fully supported platforms
and widgetsets. The remaining parts (components...) can stay in beta
state. Then the users know what is considered usable, and where work is
still in progress.
It's not required to have everything documented, as CodeGear has shown
in the past years, but the community should know where documentation can
be completed right now. Perhaps documentation should become a new
project, to which (registered?) users can contribute immediately, not
only by supplying patches. As long as documentation updates are not
checked by the authorized developers (as is), no bureaucracy should
prevent quick documentation updates.
