<DIV><BR></DIV>Neil, I think "farce" is a real exaggeration and isn't fair.
Anyone scratching the surface at all in their research of Drupal would would
have easily discovered that CCK and Views were essential components and that
they weren't going to be ready for some time after D6 release.<BR><BR>I just
can't believe that serious people make business decisions without doing
research. I think 15 minutes of research by someone completely new to the
community would have revealed exactly what the release of D6 meant.<BR><BR>I
do think it was a PR problem and there was lots of disappointment. And I think
adjustments have been made.<BR><BR>Shai<BR><BR>

addition, don't forget ot compound this question with, "when will the
contrib modules for the site be available on D7". Many contrib
module maintainers have vowed to have releases ready on the d7 release
date, but you'll want to check that before you commit to your
client. Good luck....</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV></DIV>An addendum to what Hans wrote. It is not as if there are 412
official bugs that have to get solved and that the number of critical bugs
is always reduced. There are still a lot of bugs being found as well. That
number goes up as well as down.<BR><BR>According to d.o. there are
currently only 400 installations of D7 "phoning home" to d.o. The peak was
1,000 installs during the week of Oct. 4. But a lot of commits were made
during code "slush." There are a lot of really great changes, but there
are also a lot more bugs to report.<BR><BR>So download D7, play around,
find and report those bugs.<BR><BR>As for Greg's hubdub thingy, in March,
'09 I predicted: after April 1, 2010. I'm pretty sure I'm going to take
home some "money" on that one!<BR><BR>Shai<BR><BR>
