Sure, all software is work in progress. You maybe have heard the mantra: "release often, early". I believe a release process must be learned and trained as any other process. Even if the code base is not ready for prime time, Wave should make releases. It's not about making the best super-duper tool of all ages. It's about showing that this project is able to make a release at all - or not. if we can't make a release at all, this project has a problem. Voting on releases simply shows if there is a community or not. Even when the community says -1 its perfectly valid. Not responding is not good.
