The Brazil for Rhino development process and schedule
Since we rely on customer input to set priorities, refine features, and
help us fix problems unique to their systems, processes, or related
software, we provide users with as much information as possible
during every phase of development.
We start involving customers by releasing a Work-in-Progress (WIP)
to the newsgroup. WIP releases (many call this the Alpha release
phase) are not production ready, and many things will only
be prototyped. The WIP process
can take 3 to 6 months.
Once we have production stable build, we will start
releasing beta versions. The early betas will not have a final user interface
and documentation. This stage can take another 3 to 6
months.
We will only release when the beta users tell us it is ready.
That means that in about 3-6 months after the first WIP, users
will be able to use Brazil in production and about 6-12 months
after first WIP they can buy it. Brazil for Rhino will be
available from both Rhino and Brazil resellers worldwide.
