Hi folks,
Here is a post from Koki, refering to a discussion in the Haiku-web
mailing-list about the alpha 1 public to focus.*
>> We need to be very careful in managing the expectations for this
>> release; a lot of people don't understand what an alpha release is (by
>> either ignorance or sometimes even choice), so it is important to make
>> it crystal clear that this is an early development release not meant
>> for the average Joe end user who expects a fully stable/functional
>> system with Flash/Java and the whole nine yards. The way we convey
>> this release should clearly reflect that.*
So, here is a copy/paste of small ideas i propose for alpha 1:
- Give this alpha a name: Firefox has its "Deer Park", Flash Player its
"Astro", BeOS R5.1 its "Dan0".
- A welcome prompt window at startup to clear the fact that it's an alpha
release, mainly for developper
- An "alpha release, for developpers" mention in the About Window
- A "Report a bug" icon on the workspace or Deskbar
- A contact@xxxxxxxxxxxx / support@xxxxxxxxxxxx / bug-report@xxxxxxxxxxxx in
People
- Documentation PDF (bebook, ...)
- BePDF binary to be install by default
This is only ideas, reactions welcome !
Rémi
