On Sun Feb 12 2012 Stefan Monnier wrote: my opinion, the biggest problem that needs to be solved before BBDB 3 can be released is documentation (a re-write of the info manual). That's why so far BBDB 3 is only available from its git repository: # git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/bbdb.git I think a release without documentation would clarify the situation and might even bring more contributors to fix the documentation problem, Previously, other people on this list have voted rather emphatically for an update of documentation before they wanted to consider switching from BBDB 2.x to 3. Personally I do not have strong feelings about the order of steps. I think that by now the code is sufficiently mature so that from that perspective it can be released. Potential users of this release (like all current users) will have to accept that a more coherent doumentation is still missing. On the other hand, it is probably fair to say that the new code has already more docstrings for its functions and variables than the old code. Comments from other people on this list are welcome!

Release. I've been using v3 for some time and it works very well for me. Bringing more users in will also show /where/ documentation is needed most, once the 10 most FAQ on the list are dealt with, 80% of the documentation effort will already be done. -- Philipp Haselwarter -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
