I think that's a wise decision to wait til you have something to release. There are too 
many SF projects that have little or nothing to show for themselves.

Thinking about new features....are you ever considering doing a complete 
implementation of the TAL specs? I don't really know much about them but you 
mentioned that Petal implements only a subset right now. Maybe that's all we'll ever 
need...

Let's hope so ;->. I will write to him and let him know that you are in the process of 
beta testing so that he realizes there may still be a bug or two in the module.
