Along that line of thinking, if it is released, what is the first thing new users are going to do? One is download and try the examples. And the second is look a the documentation.
Do we have lots of example code? Can we refer them to the HLS Book? Do we have solid documentation? Are the tools ready for users? I have noticed that Geoff is +0, which tells me that Spindle isn't ready. How about we release it with a truth in advertising notice: "Tapestry 4.0 is done and it has some bugs, no documentation, no example code, no books and no tools." Which means that users of tapestry are going to be flocking to the users and dev sites looking for support. Are we prepared to tell them to RTFM or would you refer them to the last 3-6 months of e-mails. What is the purpose of the release? regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: news on behalf of Ron Piterman Sent: Mon 12/12/2005 10:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VOTE] 4.0 final release I've said that before, and will repeat again: going final with uncomplete documentation looks *very* bad. don"t know another open source project which makes so much bla bla about marketing and learning curve, and then, when it comes to facts, goes final with whole chapters totally misleading in the official user's guide. this looks bad. sorry. -1 (non-binding) Ron Howard Lewis Ship wrote: > I think it is high time for a final 4.0 release.
