[Adium-devl] Thoughts on a summary since the beta so people stop asking us where 1.0 is AND should we set a cutoff date for a release, even with bugs?

[Chris Forsythe]

Hey folks,

    So when we switched from joscar/smack to libgaim, I was pretty 
adament about waiting until 1.0 was released before disclosing the 
information on the blog. However, when I wrote that I had the mistaken 
belief that we'd have 1.0 out before end of year. Should we do a review 
of what has been going on, and what's left?

    Also, we've been running the beta since July, we had 20 alphas 
before that. Things are almost there, but every time we release a beta 
something new and exciting comes up. Plus the 1.0 beta fixes a crash 
that's been in .89.1 on intel. Should we just set a date and release it 
at some point so we can move past it? If we did I propose Feb 1st. This 
gives us almost a month to shore up anything that's really atrocious. I 
know we generally don't set release dates, but maybe we need it this time.
