That's interesting... I wonder where they got that timeframe from.

When it's done. There's no way to predict when that will be, since it's very dependent on volunteers' schedules and commitments.

It's probably an extrapolation based on current progress.

FreeOrion v1.0 is already done. The only reason nobody knows about it is because I'm not letting anybody else play it until I beat Tyreth and tzlaine 2 out of 3.

Great news! Now Tyreth and tzlaine knows what to do to bring celestial joy to the FreeOrion community.

But really, do you expect to see 1.0 before 2010?

I'll be surprised if he ever beats us! I keep trying to explain that troop transports are no good on their own.

It really depends on the pace at which we pick up developers, artists, and sound/FX engineers. If we never add a single person to the team we have now, then yeah, I'd say no sooner than 2010, certainly.

But if can grow the team at a pace consistent with our ability to manage a larger project, it could well be sooner. Who knows? We're all here for the long haul!

I'm sure when people actually know about the project, they'll start joining the team.
