How do you suggest we present it then ?
"use this and see all your code die"......
If that is what happens, that is what you need to tell. But if that is
the case, better not be in public and fix those bugs.
That isn't the (traditional) Open-Source way......
Traditional open-source says, "we have a good idea, the product works
well over there in (that) context. Over here it might not work so well
unless we do some work on it to fix it. Would you like to pay me to work
on it?"
I thought the traditional open source says:
"We made this wonderful tool which serves our purposes well. Feel free to use it
too. We make no guarantees, that it works for you too. If you have improvements,
please sends us the patches."
And not:
"We made this wonderful tool which serves your purposes well. It is almost finshed,
gives us money to work on it (while it might realistically not be that ready)."
Looking at the web application and packaging mails written by you, I have my doubts
that you can estimate the amount of work needed to make it ready for mass consumption.
