That's one of the points. The conversion tools are mature when they are independent on the exact version of the software that you have.
I was referring to the scripts that run the catalog.
PG has to rely on tools that are stable, not on bleeding edge.
This is open source development. We dont have enough resources to test the tools everywhere before releasing. We need bug reports and patches from the people out there. I don't even have a Winsloth machine ... The mentality of "everything has to be perfect before we start" doesn't work. Linus didn't post Linux when it was ready, he posted it when it was no more than a filesystem with a bit of memory management attached. Tim Berners-Lee didn't start with XHTML 1.1. He started with what he had and refined it later. Michael Hart didn't wait till he got a computer that understood lower case. He started with upper case only and fixed that later. Success stories. Not an argument, but maybe an illustration. -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
