Mac is talking about being prepared. It's not that we're thinking Cyan will do that, or that they are ready. It's just a better feeling when we know the ball is in the other guy's court.
LOL at Mac_Fife's "stable enough to go public without embarrassment." That is so true. I was shooting for a month after rarified began to prepare Foundry for CWE. I think we need a target because the tendency is for "people to go where they are looking." But absolutely take care of your own lives first, and this project somewhere down the list where you can remain comfortable.
My one-month goal was for OpenUru.org alone. I can't speak for Cyan or a'moaca' nor am I making any expectations on their schedules. Each part of this happy triad (Cyan, MOSS, OpenUru.org) has control over its own "go" button and the schedule remains relative to that.
I really like the idea of giving Cyan a visible status of our progress. And I like getting practice in with JIRA to do that before the project publicly opens so we have some experience going in. If everyone could put some demands on the Foundry, that would be extremely useful. Forums can only go so far. The more we put our ToDo lists on JIRA, the more we'll be able to see what needs to get done.
It would be nice to wrap up this present perfectly, but as an ongoing project, I think it's okay if we're still doing some things when the guests arrive. There will always be something in the works and always something to do. I don't imagine it will ever be "done."
Yes, it would be nice to have a complete build. I would at least like to have all components available. But if there's development work due to the loss of 3rd party libraries, we can't hold up because of it. The community needs to pitch in at that point.
For clarity, an initial commit of CWE to the Mercurial repo should provide some of that beyond what I've already described because then we'll have something to actually try to build. I want to make sure the repo is secure and the Foundry is ready for it before the commit. After rarified says "go" and I give it a preliminary test, I'll "go."
I think everyone here understands we're not out to make this a job for anyone. Any pressure we feel may just be the professional level demands and expectations we place upon ourselves to make a commitment and do something well. It's a testament to everyone on the team to uphold that kind of ethic even when we're doing it just for fun. If you need time or space, take it. Let's make sure to keep this interesting and fun.
Perfect speed is being there.
We've all got our own pulls on our time.

), for my own reasons and needs. What I was referring to is needing status/estimates for a task whose scope I don't even understand. I constantly find that very frustrating about my real job.
