The things that we may consider minor, a new user will consider to be clues to the overall experience and what to expect; this is especially true for new users coming from Windows. Thus we lose a potential asset to the community in favor of some other distro (usually Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, or Mandriva). Frankly, I would rather we be a bit late on releasing 12.1 than to release it as finished with the same sort of issues 11.4 showed.
Sorry, I don´t get it. Where we are loosing users? And why?
And the releasing point of 12.1 is actually the right choose. If we release it later, there won´t be time enough between KDE 4.7 and 4.8.
So, could you please explain the quoted post to me?
I think Roger (generally) means that there needs to be more fine tuning before releases. At least in this sense, I agree. It's why I'm doing more testing myself. One simple solution to this is to make milestone release more prominent. Like posting an something like an advertisment on opensuse.org. I don't think pushing back a release is necessarily a good thing because people expect and prepare for a release on a certain date.
thanks a lot,
