The time-based release schedule would be a good thing but is probably
too difficult to adhere to unless there is a dramatic increase in the
number of contributors to GNOME Office.  Still, I guess there's no harm
in trying. ;)

Is GNOME-DB planning to ever be ported to Windows?  It would be nice for
GO to be the same on all supported platforms.  Is that realistic?

I think 1.x versioning is sensible until more projects officially become
part of GNOME Office.  That is merely my humble opinion though. ;)
