It wouldn't be the first time, Scott. I recently found a message to
friends & family from around last March saying "OenoLogwill be finished in
a couple of months". As my usual defense, I would point out that the
OenoLog I'm rushing to complete by year's end has features not conceived of
last March. I'm a firm believer that alpha testing should focus as much on
identifying design flaws & limitations as it does on correcting programming
errors.
But I do think that the partnership should commit itself to delivering
something tangible and usable to MC Corp in exchange for the privledge of
using MC, and that commitment should be acknowledged by all concerned.
