Various other minor bug fixes.

Known Issues

Calendar filters and Task filters "Name" propery isn't currently implemented.

It seems like this project is dead. Please see the forum.

Peace.
Henk.

I would not say it is dead until srs doesn't show up at the end of the month. Lets not jump to conclusions until we are sure. You mite be right, but I will wait and see.

I was just responding to what I read on the forum about people who are already asking to setup somethingelse like TD+

I myself would regret if SRS would stop with this fine program. But reading that a lotta people "demand" things I can understand.
OK, lets hope SRS will continue with TD+

Maybe it is wise to give it not much attention the the forum itself too?

Peace,
Henk.

I knew this would happen! Blazingwolf and I while working on his skin talked about it a lot and came to the conclusion that it would drive him off the project. I guess we were correct. Hopefully he will be back.

You mean people "demanding" him to put in certain options?
Peace,

No demanding that the beta doesn't expire.

Do you think because others think SRS could make it a commercial product? which is his right, ofcourse!

I mean back in Sept. he did ask for betatesters.

Peace,
Henk

joelw135 · 02-14-04, 11:13 AM

Well that is one reason, but I think some forum members think that he should have told them.

I think he should have told them because that gives questions like making it commercial.

I mean if he does make it commercial and would have give all the betatesters a free copy, he has to give away a lotta copies!
And that would cost money!

$20 x 100 copies free = 2000 bucks!;)

Peace,
Henk.

Your theory is wrong, because 1. most beta programs expire, 2. There are only 6 or 7 assigned Beta testers. All the others are just using it as an open beta. All the official testers have ver 12 while non official are using 11.

Right I was just guessing.

It is wise to say the above about ver 12?

But ofcourse there ar numerous of extra, not assigned betatetsers who also do the work, right?

Peace,
Henk.

Yes for sure, many people have worked on the skins, but not on the application itself. Brosel contributed a lot, and so did many others. Most understood it was a beta, some got anoyed.

I meant on skins and ideas. But lets drop the case until we know more from SRS himself.

Peace,
