The complete business plan incorporates a schedule, including the schedules of the engineers working on the commercial side. We will inform everyone of that when it's completed so the community can coordinate. I've kinda gotten past the bleary-eyed excitement of "open source friendly graphics", and now I'm concentrating on making sure that the business based around it is successful without compromising the original thrust. It's not just about being open but also about being able to stay afloat so that the open products continue to be available for a long time to come. The FOSS community really needs this kind of thing. Sink or swim, whatever happens here is going to send a REALLY HUGE message. I want that to be the RIGHT message. > > > But don't forget, the debugging that need to be done.
