"The plans has been on display..." The road map tells users what to expect. The announcement told users what to expect. If they still expect something else, that's their choice. But IMHO it's nothing that we need to take responsibility for. The current plan is easy. Just two dates: freeze and release. development before the freeze, testing, fixing, translating, release preparations after the freeze, packaging and new the next development cycle starts in parallel after the release. I think that's easy enough even without a colorful layout. Although the roadmap is hard to find on the website (but it's nowhere near alpha centauri). > The user isn't us, we can build from source, they can not, nor should they. BTW the users are free to build from source, that's their choice, too. I think most of our users are pretty smart (and good looking) ;) Jürgen PS: "This must be Thursday" - and I put release on fridays intentionally to have the weekend for packaging...
