Re: [Super-tux-devel] [Fwd: Supertux bug: Time runs out at goal]

Hey there,

 Here goes just a few thoughts. (I really should stop doing this thinking=20
thing :D)

 Matze: So, your opinion is that the best way to find bugs is to just relea=
se=20
the game and let people to find them out.

 In my opinion, there should be quite a few testing and code probbing befor=
e=20
releasing anything. Besides, as you say, there was a lot of development in=
=20
the 2 weeks, so it is normal that we have to wait another two, in order to=
=20
debug everything and get feedback about what we did.

 Futhermore, we are talking about a major move - 0.1 ! This is not another=
=20
minor version, so simple bugs, like the one that Tobias reported, should ha=
ve=20
been squished by then!

 I know everyone, especially the developers that worked hard, want to see=20
their work out there, but let's calm down, and wait before everything is=20
ready and everyone agrees in a release. This is not an individual effort an=
d=20
so attitudes like the Ingo's one should not be encouraged.
 Besides from that, we have someone that is responsible for the project=20
leading and that should be taken in consideration before announcing anythin=
g=20
that is related with the project.

 I already knew that Ingo was going to release a new version and I asked hi=
m=20
to at least changing the name. He did not do this, but he has further more,=
=20
abused his cvs access to make the webpage to point to his version, as if it=
=20
was a normal release.  Besides from that, he posted the new version at the=
=20
Linux Game Tome, in order to force Tobias to assume his version as an=20
official one.
 I have told Ingo more than once that I admire his work, but his attitude=20
should be just a bit *more* modest.

That said,
Cheers,

Ricardo Cruz
