For what its worth...
I think getting a single networking app, such as cvs, running is sufficient to warrant a release. Other apps will follow and I think holding back until networking is complete is a waste of time. Getting some form of networking working should generate interest in the project and may get those illusive new developers to join in.

Please keep in mind that releases are mostly targeted at end-users and to gain publicity. If we say networking works, but not one browser runs, that will give bad publicity (by clueless people, i admit, but it will nevertheless). Rather wait a bit longer and leave a good impression. Developers can compile from CVS or use daily snapshots anyways.
