Do you think Roundcube deserves the version 1.0?
Well I'm late to this discussion I've been using RoundCube since 0.1 alpha and have seen it grow and change so much, I defiantly think RoundCube deserves 1.0
"1.0 wish list"
RoundCube's documentation could use some work, there isn't guides for a lot of core functionally or core plugins. They is README files and good comments in config files but there not in any central place to point users to for information on how to setup stuff. This isn't a problem for advanced users but RoundCube is stable to the point where everyone including less technical users are installing it.
The Plugins/Skin Repository should be more advanced than a simple list, I know there has been some work on it lately but it would be nice to have a solution for 1.0.
The last thing on my RoundCube wish list and the one thing keeping me from using RoundCube full time is multi account support with a combined inbox. I know how difficult it would be and in many ways its not part of the core path of RoundCube but I still want it.
Thanks, -Scott Kidder

Hello folks
We're in the final round of getting the 0.9 stable release ready and the question about the next major version arises. I know, our versioning has been very modest and therefore we're at 0.9 after more than 7 years of development. When starting Roundcube back in 2005, my vision about Roundcube version 1.0 was to be feature complete and ready for the average daily needs of email messaging. However, during the years we might have lost our objectivity for things like feature-completeness and that's why I'd like you to speak up for this.
My personal gut feeling says "yes, of course". Since version 0.7 we're seeing nearly 100K downloads from our mirrors and each installation of Roundcube serves up to several thousand users. While the total number of Roundcube users is still unclear, I nevertheless think that the broad use of our software is a clear indicator that it actually *is* ready for the average daily messaging.
Together with this simple yes-no question, I'd also like to give you the opportunity to submit your personal "1.0 wish list". Feel free to post your top 3 must-have features you're currently missing in Roundcube. Your feedback will help us to hopefully make the right decisions and to do the further planning for the roadmap beyond the 1.0 release.
Many thanks for your support and participation!
