Clever view. I clearly lost the focus. A countdown is in this case definitly
not a good solution (but perhaps for R1 ?).
So, what about:
- 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
- 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx People
