[Gvsig_english] Version 2.0 final features vote?

[Wolfgang Qual]

Dear Benjamin, list
this is a good idea (just to see what is really needed from the users' point 
of view). Thank you very much for your initiative!

I agree: Testing different builds of 1.9 unstable was very exciting (as new 
features were added with nearly every build), but also quite confusing, as I 
still do not know, what will follow and what is planned. 
What I miss a little bit, is some documentation about the developers' / 
gvSIG-Team's target for 2.0 (list of features - or is it identical with the 
list of features for 1.9?). It would be really great to see this. 
What I also really would like to have: some information on the current status 
of development of gvSIG 2.0: is it possible to give an estimation, when 2.0 
(not 1.9) will be released?
If an estimation currently is not possible: would it help the developers to 
have such a "ranking list"? I am not so sure about it, but I really would 
like to hear their opinion.

I think that quite some users are highly motivated to support the release of 
2.0 via testing and sending bug reports. And I am convinced that motivation 
could be even higher, if some more information about the above mentioned 
issues would be provided. 

Best regards,
