I was not saying Jackrabbit had to be perfect, of course ;) I was referring to Jukka's introduction about apache products and press releases : "some major new stuff to be announced beyond the normal technical audience". And my interpretation is that it should be big enough to : 1. attract more people (on this point I completely agree with you); 2. attract again some people discouraged by some previous lacks of the project.
But I agree making so noise about the 1.4 could attract some more eyes-and-brains on the project. An another big release with fireworks, beers and girls for the 2.0?

I don't think Jackrabbit has to be perfect to warrant a press release. Quite the contrary in fact, attracting more people to the project is the best way to help it evolve. So I agree with Jukka about making some honest (as opposed to marketing BS) noise about 1.4. > ...Maybe I'm not supposed to answer your mail, as I'm not a member of Day, > and even > not an official Jackrabbit developer, but now you have my point of view, > whether you > want it or not ;)...
