This is by no means intended as a flame or a complaint, but merely
a request for information.


Can someone who is 'IN THE KNOW' post to the net an article which tells us
the status of 0.1?  I realize that you are all in the midst of getting it
out the door, but could someone take 15 minutes out of their schedule and
give us a quick over-view as to what still needs to be done?

Are you waiting for 4.4 so that you can merge in your changes?
Getting all the distribution sites setup before you announce it's availability?
Fixing those last little nasty bugs?
Writing up installation documents?


I would like to help, but my machine will not run the 0.?newer release, and
I don't have room on my workstation to cross-compile.


Somethin akin to what Chris G. posted about a month ago, stating 0.1 has
this and that feature, and it should be less than 2 weeks :-) before it
is released.


Thanks alot,

Still waiting (somewhat) patiently,


Nate
