is there a possibility for a beta to be released? if so when? ( i'm not asking for an exact date, even an answer like "not in the first coming months" would be nice )

Yeah, that's not going to happen anytime soon. WftO is far from having reached beta status yet.

I will however let you know we have Alpha planned for Christmas - early 2012

All the basic features, most likely in buggy form.

Apparently so. I'm going to sue kyle. This wasn't apart of my contract.

"We chose to release an alpha. We chose to release an alpha this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

I think alpha on Xmas is a bit too optimistic.

Call it a public prototype showcase, and I'll be happy. Released as it is, that's what it is. Or a pre-alpha. Proof of concept. I dunno. But I think assuming we'll be alpha by christmas is too optimistic as well.

Release early, release often.
