Agreed. My major issue is that we don't have enough _big_ items completed to set a feature freeze date. I think we need X big items completed before we can push for 7.5, even forgetting Win32. I know we did a lot already, but we need some big splash items for 7.5. These are being worked on, and if it takes X months to get them, it takes X months. Once we have X features working, we can look for a feature freeze. Maybe those features will not even include Win32 (though I would be surprised). -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
