Hi guys, Whilst some of the goals for 0.2 sound fun, in my opinion there are some fundamentals that perhaps should be addressed beforehand. For example, reintroducing functionality that was lost with 0.1.2 (e.g. tickets #358, #359 & #394 are some I raised about this :-), stabilising the codebase, and addressing performance. Something else that really needs addressing is the trust-network and the way commands are subscribed to. I've read a few blog posts, and received a couple of emails, saying that the major factor that is stopping people from adopting Ubiquity is the security risk of subscribing to new commands.
Perhaps these are planned for a prior release, but considering 0.1.2 was about 6 weeks late, and 0.1.3 still has 28 active tickets, planning 0.2 for the end of 2008 seems a little over-ambitious. I don't want to rain on the parade - I love hacking away at new stuff with the best of them - but without some core stability I think the user base will lose interest and we'll be left with an interesting toy for a handful of people, but no wide-spread adoption. Of course this is only my take on things, and perhaps not seeing the bigger picture :-) I hope these comments are taken in a positive way.
