We're certainly fixing lots of post-2.0 bugs now too. On the other hand we
have a big bug with our windows FE which prevented us from releasing a
windows binary for 2.0. Unfortunately the Windows developers are having a
hard time understanding how to fix it. However it should be fixed in two
weeks time so a 1.0.1 of Gnome-Office would be close to a 2.0.1 relase for
AbiWord. In this instance I agree about a 1.0.1 release for GNOME-Office.

However in general I think it would be best if the different apps made
releases when it suited them, except for coordinating releases.

I think that at this point in the development of AbiWord it would be good
for us to aim for time-based releases similar to Gnome.

Dom will have his own opinions of course and we'll discuss it on the
abi-dev list too.
