Re: gtk2-perl / releasing a first public beta

[Janne Morén <jan moren lucs lu se>]

A guiding principle should be "release early, release often". It is a
good idea, in my view. The sooner people start trying to use it in
'real' projects (like I am itching to do), the sooner design mistakes
and errors will be caught and solved. From my limited experience with
playing with the 0.02 release, it is already well past the point where
you can actually start doing real stuff with it.
