@Karlitos and others - if you don't want to wait and are not afraid of getting your feet wet, than head over to www.projectpier.org and contribute to the fork of the 0.7.1 code line. We are currently finalizing our fist 0.8 release and you are very welcome to contribute.
I've been following this project for a while. I started using the software last year. So you wont find me posting around these forums much if ever.
In any case, this is kind of a bad business practice to *not* have release dates/timelines. I just wanted to get that out, as a consumer of the products created here. I cannot plan my project around your software releases. I have actually moved on because theres too many promises, and too little being delivered in terms of software, and information.
Bottomline: If you can't give customers a date for when the software will be ready, they will move on to other software. It's not like there is no competition. You need to have some rough dates. Customers can't plan their own business and projects around software, whose developers so far have proved they don't have a plan. Your project might be on hold, but allow your customers to either move on, or stick around until the release date. They also have things to plan, and when they're using your software, they need the reliability and stability of steady timelines and dates. So they can plan accordingly. Right now your customers can't plan anything, except to use the current version, or move on.
Lack of a release timeline for beta, RC, and/or release definitely shows a lack of planning. Unless this drops in the next week or so I will stick with the other collabs I've found, which I won't advertise here.
Cheers.

Isn't it worse to plan your business around software you don't have access to? I find it interesting that this thread has a lot of people complaining about not knowing when the software is going to be released. If you were planning to use the software but are not able to utilize it when you require, find something else and move on without so much as a whimper.
Complaining about it just makes you look silly.

@Shane, it's called "planning" which means preparing for events YET to come, if we had access to it, we wouldn't NEED to plan.
Trying doing business at the level we do without planning and.. well you wouldn't be doing business.

Yes, but isn't planning supposed to take into account the fact that this software has yet to be released? I just think it is interesting that there are posts since earlier this year discussing the potential release dates and many are complaining that it is now the end of August and the same individuals are commenting about the same issue and blaming the developer.
I have planned to not use AC since there has been no solid release date for quite some time. I check back from time to time because I think the product has a future - but I haven't blamed the developer as it isn't their responsibility to adapt to my schedule. Since they've been unwilling to release a date, I just don't consider the software.
It is interesting, that's all.

ahahaha, rotfl, thats freaking funny ))) the point is there's two reckonings - astronomical and meteorogical.
Northern hemisphere:
Astronomical reckoning:
* Winter (89 days) begins on 21-22 Dec, the winter solstice
* Spring (92 days) on 20-21 Mar, the spring equinox
* Summer (93 days) on 20-21 June, the summer solstice
* Autumn (90 days) on 21-22 Sept, the autumn equinox
Meteorogical reckoning:
* spring begins on March 1,
* summer on June 1,
* autumn on September 1, and
* winter on December 1.
Astronomical is in use in USA, and meteorogical is in use in Denmark, former USSR, Australia, and sometimes in UK and Ireland.
summer is over here (Moscow, Russia), so lucky you - got 22 days of summer... okay, i will wait ))
ps. btw, Ilija, check email notification tool. It's calling me "Ilija Studen" somewhy )
