Blogging Roller

Dave Johnson on social software, open source and Java

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Charles Miller - Version Numbers and You: Too many Open Source projects treat Version 1.0 as some kind of Holy Grail that can only be reached when the project is perfect. I find that highly annoying, because it makes it really, really difficult to tell a sketchy alpha from production code that is just still in pre-1.0 because the author wants it to do everything.
If we add multiple categories per post, I'd be happy calling the next release Roller 1.0 rather than Roller 0.9.8.

I can totally agree with that... There is a reason that the versio numbers dont stop at 1.0 There is room for 1.5 and 2.0 and on and on and on... My companies product is at 8.2 and 8.3 realeasing at the same time... go figure...
