Comment The real problem... (Score 1) 142

. ! it can't hurt to have extra experienced eyes running through your code at the early stages. i occasionally get soft/trialware that makes me say funk dat, i'm not using this, and then it gets blown away from my realm forever. selective early release, where only some people see the code and help, and then general release after it's matured a bit.

don't you think that's an odd comment to make about it? isn't there a practical application here? put that way, it's a bit too general to fully agree or disagree with.

this isn't a flame. i've been willing to be part of testing mozilla, and i love it. but most consumers aren't so forgiving. -waldo if you don't, then i believe you'll be pulled in all directions by the rest of us. --mike-- -- dumping beta oss on the public to avoid paying for a qa team results in low quality. a) too few bug reports will be submitted to be of any use, b) too many bug reports will be submitted leading to information overload.

i'm not sure i agree -- consider the converse argument. when you look at the whole matter objectively, any issues seem almost bound to sort themselves out. you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
