Yes I know, but for some people a (major) release or an accurate roadmap
is more important :)

I was simply passing on feedback I got.

The homepage is the first thing someone gets to see. And a roadmap "as
of 2008" in 2010... - well it does sound out-dated.

Personally I do support Firebird with my OpenSource SQL tool just as
much as any other DBMS.

I am aware of this. But this is not what a first-time user (or some
"just looking") will have a look at. Especially someone who is "just a
user" might not be interested in CVS commits but probably a lot more in
the roadmap and the planned and actual release dates.

Sorry if my post has been misunderstood.

I just wanted to let you know how people whow are not using Firebird
understand the information on the homepage.
