If my project is targeting Q1 of 2010, so should I start developing using D7?
(We don't use any advanced modules, just basic one)
Ryan,
I think most shops will start developing production sites in D7 for delivery in Q3, assuming there are not huge delays.
That said, D7 is awesome and has some fantastic improvements.
However, If the client isn't asking for it, and if there isn't a major new feature required by the client that comes with D7... I would stick with D6. (An example of a major new feature required by the client built-in to D7 would be the need for having both public and private file systems or the need to stash uploaded files on an Amazon S3 server.

If you mean only core modules with "basic ones", you could consider it. Drupal 7 is a lot more usable out of the box with cck and filefield in core. You could now allready make a small brochure site with it But be aware that d7 most probably will not be out before april, so. you will be using beta software. Experience with Drupal will be useful.
If you will be using any contributed modules you should check now if they have made the d7cx pledge and have started a d7 dev version. If they dont there is quite a risk they will not be ready in Q1. You should be prepared to encounter occasional bugs in contributed modules and ready to help fix them.
Good luck,
Hans

1. I wonder why nobody responds who knows more than me. So here my personal informed opionion. 2. I guess it could be a bit risky, depending on what depends on the deadlines. For my personal drupal playground any time now seems to be a good date for D7. For anything that involves clients and fixed deadlines in Q1 of 2010 I would stick to D6.
