Right.

I'm in. Now we have a nice version (1303 build) but it has some not so minor problems when working with Sextante that I can't say if they are Mac ones or somebody else. To put some examples, if you sample more that one raster with a layer points only the first one will return results; copy and paste a layer from view to view badly misplaced the original one. Raster save as tiff when the original is a grass produced layer results in a empty tiff.

This are top priorities, to see all the windows menu will be wonderful. Beginners can't use filters when doing a selection because they don't see the whole window, this feature works however in gvSIG 1.1.2. The last version of Navtable includes a quick filter option that doesn't work in Mac and so on. Normalization doesn't support more than nine characters even when the parser are colons or semicolons.

A kind of bugtracker will be nice.
A wiki with the workaround tricks is needed.
