I agree with WD about networking. Arty is busy with the new job, and nobody else is working on networking. Considering networking is meant to be the key feature for the 0.3 release, then either people need to start working on networking or the 0.3 goalposts need to be changed.
I don't see why the 0.3 goalposts would need to be changed. As long as we're not comfortable saying "basic TCP/IP networking is implemented now" we just call the release 0.2.x instead of 0.3.
I must agree. Saying "We're gonna release 0.3 as soon as we have TCP/IP networking reasonably complete" is much better than saying "We're gonna release 0.3 1st July 2005" - That's a nonsense, a MS-ish way of doing things.
Somebody pointed out that more frequent releases keep public interest in reactos - yes, that's true, but IMHO people will be at least disappointed by the fact that there's a release, say, every 3 months, but there's little or no visible progress between them. Don't misunderstand me - I know you guys are working hard, but unless this work produces some visible progress, there's no point in releasing 0.3. And the progress that is visible for you isn't necessarily visible for BFUs.
