Hi all, I fully agree with Bruce. Kompozer may have serious shortcomings and clearly needs refinement, but to "write it off" is in direct contradiction to the spirit of Open Source. Perhaps instead of the criticism, the community could rally around and call up contacts who could help polish Kompozer to achieve the stability that is required.
