I see. I guess we're all quite busy at the moment, so we probably
shouldn't expect the release schedule to pick up much speed any time
soon. But I'll try to keep things moving nonetheless, even if it moves
at a slow pace.

OK.

And I guess articles about it would be more interesting when it's in a
better working shape, eh? ;)

No need.

I haven't been able to do that much myself. Somehow it may be a pity
that we didn't move forward at a greater pace to begin with (e.g. drop
the rewrite of the internals) so we could "settle back" (as it seems
we're doing) in a more maintainable state... But even so, I think the
rewrites have been worth it, and if we can get to 0.2 final, I'm not
all too worried about toning down the pace (or keeping at its current
level ;)

Wonderful.

No real rush for this yet.

... or very busy. I really do understand that you (we) all are busy,
and I don't expect you (us) to do more than we have the time for. So
if you don't have to do the things I ask for/suggest, that's fine.

Check.

Right. I guess putting beosgui on ice won't be too much of a problem;
I suspect there aren't too many BeOS users of Anygui yet anyway ;)
