As i said before i like it best when each release has one distinguising
feature (even subreleases). The obvious feature for 0.3.0 would be
networking, so even though it would be nice that say SEH works (which i
understood is really sweet, but says nothing to end users i think) and
that openoffice works, i think we should bring it as the big networking
release.

So imho 'networking' should work. So a user should get the feeling
networking works. So for this above mentioned apps which should work:

-firefox
-cvs
rather define a set of clients here, if tcp/ip works cvs should work,
but of course not every client will, so maybe limit it to cvs
commandline, wincvs and tortoisecvs?
-irc
here this is even more true, we should pick a few, most importantly mirc
and probably a open-source one, like xchat?

I'm missing email here (second most used internet application?), so
maybe we could add thunderbird as well?

So list of applications recap:

-firefox
-commandline cvs
-wincvs
-tortoisecvs
-mirc
-xchat
-thunderbird

All other applications working (like openoffice) would be very nice, but
i don't see why it should be a goal for 0.3.0. Of course i understand
lots of people won't agree on the focussing on one feature, but i think
it will make for better headlines, and mouth-to-mouth ('networking on
ros works' is a lot easier to tell around than a list of apps working).
