With all due respect Rapunzl, this kind of weasel wording does not help anyone resolve anything.
If you have to pay, it doesn't really matter what for.
And if it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, by my reckoning at least, you've got yourself a duck.
You (and others) may view this a "weasel wording" (which as a phrase is not very nice and could be viewed as a personal attack), but the fact is that this has always been the case with CB. The CB Team has always "rewarded" its supporters (supporters are not only documentation subscribers, but also forum helpers, graphics contributors, testers, etc) in a similar manner. Now if this act has attracted additional documentation supporters in the process then this is something positive for the future of the project. Unfortunately, there are others who have just seen the "duck walking" for the first time, so they are unfortunately not aware of the history and consistency.
No need to further discuss this please. This is the policy the CB Team has chosen.
The project is late getting its 1.5 act together, damn late. Way behind almost everyone else. Some of the boys are pissed at that. Fair enough.
Late compared to which projects? Here are a few of the more complex projects (which BTW are IMHO still an order of mangitute less complex than CB):
I see docman is not Joomla 1.5.X native yet.
I see fireboard not Joomla 1.5.X native yet.
There are also others, but no need to really compare.
The fact that they don't want to run their lives according to your clock won't stop the release from being truly great, when it arrives.
And your comments won't turn back the clock either.
Lets move on.
RTB.
Yup, once CB 1.2 is stable and released to everyone, most people will just disappear. No more complaints - or most likely a different set of complaints will appear - mostly dealing with new features desired.
The CB Team is working very very hard and very carefully to get everything fixed in CB 1.2 RC2 and reach CB 1.2 stable as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
