[R.I.Pienaar]

hello,

I agree its a difficult position to be in, but a bit of thought on the matter
could certainly have come up with something.

Without really thinking this one through the first thing that came to my head
is this:

1) they missed the deadline for last month
2) they notify us saying that they will keep us posted with weekly updates
3) they look at their open issues list, lets say there are 20, assign that
100% of open issues
4) weekly they send an update of what % of open issues exist.

This wouldnt be giving away the feature list, how many issues there, heck
there could be 1 issue and they can assign progress to resolving it in %'s we
wouldnt know eitherway.  What we would have is a visible progression towards
the goal.

Like I said this is the first thing that came to my mind, it may be fatally
flawed I did not think it fully through, all I'm saying is you can be creative
about this sort of thing.

As for open Betas, if the other poster say its something that absolutely no1 
ever does then he's obviously not been using the same Internet I've been 
using.
