RE: Any tentative date scheduled for the release of STS...
Hi Erica,
Your request is certainly reasonable. Unfortunately, we have a lot of history of giving tentative release dates and things never went smoothly. If everyone understood that a “tentative” date was just a rough guess that may or not happen we would certainly give rough estimates if we knew them. Past history has shown this not be a wise move as some people become very angry when even a tentative date is not met.
I used VBulletin as an example cause even when people haven’t paid a dime for a software upgrade many become very hostile and vocal when an estimated release date is missed. This is why VBulletin and a lot of other companies have the same policy as we do not to state release dates until we are certain. With a project the size of STS there are just too many variables to guess when we will be finished. To speculate would not be wise for the reasons I mentioned earlier.
