Hi Reid,

I may be repeating myself, but wanted to make sure we're all clear about 
Chandler's 0.7 release and its significance...

We're shooting for the app to be solid by 0.7, not 0.9. March. Early 
next year. 0.7alpha4, then 0.7alpha5, maybe an 0.7alpha6 and then then 
we're at 0.7. This will include publicity if we meet our goal.

It won't have all of the features we want, so in that sense it won't be 
an old-school beta. (We'll iterate on features before 1.0). The quality 
level for 0.7 needs to be high, though. The app needs to be fast enough, 
reliable enough, etc. that we can ask people outside of OSAF to use it. 
By 0.7!

Cheers,
Katie
