     I think we're close.  Perhaps the next major release should be
     numbered 1.0.
     
     Does anyone want to say what they would consider requirements for
     a 1.0 release?


If 1.0 is supposed to be "generally usable", then my impression 
is that we need:

1.  Something to do within subjects analysis of variance and general
    linear models.   That means, at least the more common parts of the 
    GLM command, and the ANOVA and MANOVA commands.   I think Jason
    is doing good work towards this.

2.  A way to get good quality tables and charts,  displayed in the
    GUI, prefereably with some sort of interaction, and to be able to
    export them to OpenOffice.Org I understand you're working towards
    that.
