I would say: release a 0.9 version now (or in the near future) and give a clear roadmap (that's what the trac feature is for ;-) ) of what will go into 1.0 before release. That way people have some "quite stable but not 1.0" tarball to play with, with a defined compatibility-breakage ahead, but one they are warned about. That would give us a bit more time to do the 1.0 right. bye, Georg
