Hear here!

Just the tip of the iceberg IMHO.

I cannot believe that given there were issues found with the installer - .htaccess file preventing installation + having to install things in a certain order - the fix was not to update the installer - but to update the instructions with a convoluted method and advise people to do this in the release blog. Very, very, very unprofessional in my eyes. Boonex, you simply have to start doing things correctly - update the installer and release the whole see more package as 7.0.2 (NOTupdate the file and not the revision as was done back with 6.1.6 - tsk).

I think that you open yourselves up to complaints and criticisms - not only because of the initial issues, such as these, but also because of the way that you deal with them. Remember - everything that you do here is on show for the world to see - and people judge you and the ability of your software based on it.

I've mentioned this before - I would also say that you need to start thinking about a beta test team - do not release half cooked packages to the public - release them to a closed team - this way all of these issues get caught BEFORE making embarrassing mistakes such as these. There are plenty of people here would volunteer for a beta test team that will critique the release before unleashing it on a expecting public.

And remember, expectations ARE very high, and to release a package with fundamental errors such as this is lining yourselves up to fail. If you want to be a professional company, you need to start acting like one.

These might be harsh words words, but hopefully they will prompt something to happen, After all, I do not want to see you fail, I simply want to see you succeed - Your success is to my benefit!

PS - Where is the DATE for the next update - If you are serious about a monthly release cycle you need to actually commit to it, not pay lip service to the idea ;)
