[Murphy, Ged (Bolton)]

This is all that stands in the way of getting 0.3.0 out the door.
As soon as we can config the network adapters via the dialog, we can branch
and start bug hunting. 
This would also be a good time to enlist some more testers under the Munger
wing ;)

I'm going to have a look at this tonight, but I've had a look before and
IIRC, I had trouble hunting the bug down.
It would be good if someone with a bit more experience in this area could
have a look.

I think Gé was working on this before Christmas, so I'm hopefully gonna
catch up with him tonight via IM, as I'm not sure if he's subscribed to
ros-dev anymore.

We've been promising this for about 18 months now. I know a hell of a lot of
work has been done in other areas (in fact, the jump from 0.3 to 0.4 should
be relatively small as much of the 0.4 work is done), but we need to
deliver.

After all the recent goings on, getting 0.3.0 would be a nice boost for the
project, in terms of both morale and PR.
Is anyone willing to help?

Ged.

Hello,

I used to maintien a test page ( Ros in Real box - Networking ..) as 
"Munger"
I'll update it for this purpose.

There is a link to it in the Wiki/Tester section   -->> 
/http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/People_of_ReactOS

Regards
Gge

ncpaWhat's needed for 0.3:
1. Go through bugzilla, review all opened bugs, and give them appropriate status. As of
now we have 291 open bug, ~18 have 'critical' status.
2. Complete http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/0.3.x/0.3.0 , ensuring it works in
current SVN head (notices that it work[ed] in 0.2.9 are good, however regressions might
happen)
3. Merge Wine 0.9.11 changes in the tree
4. Implement at least something, best - everything from this page:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Alex%27s_0.3.0_%27User_Wow_Factor%27_…
5. Perform some load-testing on real hardware, like Gge is doing, so that all those stuff
not only "works" but works for hours.

Only after these steps I can be sure 0.3 is ready.

I do not see a release of a half-working thing with regressions as a good for PR. People
await a lot from the major release. We must give them what they deserve ;)


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

I can dig out the
rosbox.  I usually do hardware testing after doing
inital testing under VMs.

As long is there an honest effort towards 0.3.0, I will be more than
happy to help out.  I'm still pretty familiar with the open bugs and
what was working in 0.2.9.

I hope the noise factor is close to null! I'm ready to start back up and
get this project rocken again! Bite tung! Bite tung! Hand over mouth!

Do we need to audit ncpa?
