I think the most direct way to correct the impression that we haven't "produced anything anyone can use" -- is to produce a release that is in fact useful :-)
When that happens, whatever we're calling it is what people will tell their friends to go download (so keep the name short, easy to remember, pronounce, and spell...). Pieter On 8/31/06, Jared Rhine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I haven't absorbed the full thread, nor do I have a constructive proposal, but I'd like to note that I dislike the use of "Preview" unfortunately. Currently, much of the "street vibe" is that OSAF has been around a long time but (as I saw in an outside thread recently) "has never produced anything anyone can use". I'm afraid that "Preview" continues to promote that message. "Great, a Preview; here's another in a long line of "sneak peaks" at what OSAF may someday do". I'd prefer a message that, "it's rough, but it's Real now; not just a preview". Beta at least implies "real, ready, try it out now". More pondering to do... -- Jared Rhine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "General" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/general
