[Sugar-devel] Revised hypothetical material for sugar-0.90

[Michael Stone]

First, thanks very much to everyone who commented on my previous thread about
"wild rumors" for sugar-0.90. Your comments are very helpful to me because they
inform my mental picture of what changes might be available within the next few
months to be released. They are also valuable in their own right for creating
excitement, engagement, and a sense of healthy community. Therefore, keep up
the good work!

Second, to tomeu, rgs, aa, mabente, epastorino, esteban, erikos -- I'd like
to hear more from you! In particular, if you could please speak up about the
rightness or wrongness of my guesses on what you're going to be working on,
I would be most appreciative.

Third, to those who are reading this email but who are not yet comfortable
replying in public -- don't worry! Public responses are good, but private
ones can be okay too and I really want you to be involved. Therefore, please
feel free to write to me privately. I'll do what I can to write back and to
fold your ideas into future conversations.

Regards,

Michael
