I disagree on this, mainly for major releases, given the fact that these are simple things to fix, and that we know already. Shifting the release of some day shouldn't be a problem ...

I agree, but the good of Open Source isn't that we haven't here commercial timelines to respect, so we can make products with high quality ? But maybe it's my mis-conception of Open Source ... or are we returning to the concepts of last days, explained by Niclas ? And form my point of view, a "good release" is the best of code, and also the best in related material, also documentation. And i repeat, in this case should be enough to put the same pages already in the wiki, or are they older ? > So I would encourage you to reconsider your vote, taking this into account. Ok, for me it's not a problem, I don't want to have a negative effect in the project ... I'm only trying (with my efforts, and from many points of view) to improve the quality of this excellent project, and this is the reason why i spend here most (and I'm thinking that could be too much) of my (little) free time ... What others say on this ? Bye, Sandro
