Wine-doors has evolved somewhat in the year or so it has been going, the project has matured and is beginning to work well. As of the closing days of March 2007 we are developing code toward getting wine-doors as functional as possible. A technology preview will be released with a few working application packs as soon as we can muster the courage. 0.1 will be the first release, this should be due as soon as we've collected together some data, done some testing and made some clear headway in cracking some of the smaller random issues.
We have missed some targets for release but what do you want, fast, cheap, good pick any 2, and you've already got it for free so its either fast or good, and we're aiming for good.
A lightning talk is scheduled for LUG Radio Live this year (2007) on Saturday 7th July at 3pm.
