I can't speak for Jamie, but I am sure he knows the benefits of 'release early release often'. However, with a project as complex as this, and one which is under so much scrutiny from the other gnome devs, you have to make sure that everything is rock-solid before a release. > > Also, have you been working any with njpatel?

I haven't been able to spend as much time on Tracker as I had before (due to starting the a job and, more importantly, due to some family problems). I have only been getting back to into the swing of things from a few weeks ago, and will hopefully be contributing code again very soon. Kind regards, Neil J.
