The wine project (or the finish of itself) could bring linux the breakthrough. I know a lot of people who asks as first question: Is this or the other app working on linux?

I strongly think this is the measurement of the development progress of wine.
This is is also the only thing users are interested in! So if the developers has a huge effort to develop things in wine but the count of working apps is not increasing over the time so its a strong indicator that something goes wrong. Think about commercial software dev projects they have milestones and deadlines and they have to fulfil it. Why not making hard milestones and a hard deadline which the project itself can measure against it . Lets say the deadline of a version 1.0 is end of next year (2008-01-01). So if everybody has this deadline in brain, it meight make the whole thing a bit more efficient. Its easier to make hard priority decisions.<br><br>Roland<br><br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">>----- Urspr�ngliche Mail ----<br>>Von: Detlef Riekenberg <wine.dev@web.de><br>>An: Roland Kaeser <roli8200@yahoo.de><br>>CC: Jim White <jim@pagesmiths.com>;
