Re: [Cooker] On time versus functionality

I feel that a product should be ready for release when
it is stable. The biggest holdback for most linux
distros is that there is so much post-install work
that has to be done because of the fact that the
release was rushed. Now that you have so many people 
working on the final details with you, take advantage
and lets get these little things resolved and make
this as rock solid as possible.

In school, the difference between an A paper and a B
paper was often the extra few days available to make a
few changes.

 If Mdk 8.2 is to be sold to a company, it might be
 essential to have a good 
 filter for MS word document - Open office must be
 functional or RTF to be 
 used.
 
 The Euro must be ready 'by the click of a key' in
 all production programs.
 
 There ought to exist good 'scripts or tutorials' for
 the newbie to access 
 .plf  files to get a decent multimedia box.
 
 Linux is only delivered when it is ready, not by a
 predefined time.
 
 I think the above points ought to be fully discussed
 prior to launch.

OTOH, just that discussion would add at least 2 weeks to release... (-:
