Hi

Michael,

With the risk of me nagging; I think it's time for another blog-post about your contracted work.

I suggest some info about what you did at BeGeistert, what you did after that and what's coming up. A picture or two would be nice, especially if there are a lot of text as in your previous post. Maybe a screenshot showing something that you are working on, that is yet to come in Haiku? I think that would be appreciated.

*Some personal opinions (this is directed to everybody, not just Michael)*

In terms of marketing Haiku, I would love if Michael could finish some tasks. It doesn't matter how hard he works and how advanced that work is; the users (and especially the donors) want to see results. Saying "I looked at those advanced bugs that caused xyz memory to not being freed all the time" isn't the same as saying "Wireless networking is now 100% working. Test the network preflet yourself! And here's a nice screenshot to prove it.".

My anticipation for this contract was that Michael's contract would make Haiku take a huge step towards beta. Now it seems as if Michael are working on finetuning Haiku, work that is usually performed during the beta stage. I must say that I am disappointed.

Patrik
