Hi Ralph;
Well Niels, my opinion is there shouldn't be two steps, and when
it's ready it's ready, but maybe others have a different viewpoint. I
just don't think the trees are going to shake until it's ready.<<
You are probably right. The schedule date was only a feed back from the
developers. How things will be planned is another story.
I'll like to here you others guys opinion - thanx in advance.
Best regards

Well Niels, my opinion is there shouldn't be two steps, and when
it's ready it's ready, but maybe others have a different viewpoint. I
just don't think the trees are going to shake until it's ready.
Although I do understand the tons of stuff that has to be done to
get there. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
I remember a dot com experience where a vendor hired me to write a
web back end to create the Jobs/400 site, and said it had a drop dead
date of three months from now, or something similarly dot commish. I
wrote code like a maniac, 14,000 lines of RPG in three months, and
delivered a full featured working jobs site on deadline, and the vendor
and customer screwed around with paperwork or some such nonsense for
half a year.
So yeah, yours is a realistic deadline whereas mine wasn't. :)

Now we are only discussing the time frame for the rollout. We are
talking about two steps:
Step 1) Free IceBreak.
You will be able to download and use IceBreak/OS from September 1. 2008
(Roughly time estimate)
Step 2)
Open IceBreak ? even more roughly round mid January 2009.
There are load of things to do with website, code changes logistic,
changes, paperwork etc. so the concept as a hole will take time.
But how does that sound?
P.S. I certainly hope this is worth the journey. I hope you guys can shake
some trees out there - my genitals are on the line here...
