If we specify that regressions found in the 2 days pen down period are fixed before the release it's better, like, bounty enough? It makes it clear they do get something. Otherwise, if I'm a smart user, I find a bug, I wait to report in the pen down period and ta-da!, whatever the bug is the developers are bound to fix it. Does not look like a very nice outcome to me ;-) Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
