I would say, I agree with todaler and I am on the exact same boat and share the exact same feelings. I came to the dolphin world with 6.1.4 and spent like $500-600 on mods and about 4-5 months of time last year and was about to launch my site when Dolphin 7 related blogs started showing up with the dates mentioned by 'todaler'. I thought, it might not be worth spending time on installing 6.1.4 and then later upgrading it to 7.0 and it should be better to wait and it's almost 6-7 months now and I see more am nowhere close to the launch of my site. Ofcourse the money spent on 6.1.4 might go down the drain I guess...

And I am 10 years of 'software development' exp. so I am well aware of all the methodologies of software engg. and I understand it takes time but in the first place you should have mentioned this that we are looking for 6-8 months of timeframe and not 'couple of weeks'.

I understand 'Dolphin 7' looks awesome but it would had been nice if you could have released a beta version to public and we could have atleast launched our sites and disable the features that are under construction. Because we as web developers, also need time to market our sites, mod our sites and do other customizations for the site.Hope you guys listen to us and if possible release a mini beta in May or earlier :)

If not, then lets wait till June :(
