RouteConverter and Mac OS X

[Gerwin]

Shouldn't you mention this on your website instead of presenting it as fully developed and tested software?

Hi Gerwin,

I wholeheartedly disagree with your assessment, RouteConverter is alpha-software. If its in some state, then it's in constant flow. After 40 releases its conversion-core is pretty stable, the stability of the platformspecific UI parts nicely correlates with the spreading of the platform and the feedback I get: Windows is very good, Linux a bit behind and Mac OS X is basically a pet project from Harry and me.

Remember that this is open source software, not commercial software: it doesn't cost a dime and I lives from feedback and user engagement. If you don't like it, try something else. If it doesn't work, help to make it work. Its simple like this: if your platform represents a tiny niche, you need engaged users that are willing to spend their time helping other users. Most Linux users understand this. Most Mac users seem to forget this.

But Christian, I really don't mean alpha/beta status as some kind of criticism or that it's some kind of 'lesser' software. I just mean to say that to get people to realise that Routeconverter is in a constant state of flow, you could call it alpha or beta. That way, people would understand that it may work or may not work, and that improvements may be on the way.
A lot of opensource software is an a constant state of beta.
But never mind, it was just a suggestion. It's your software and you're doing a great job. Keep it up and thanks!
