version numbers are meaningless. ignore and forget
them and judge the app on the app instead.

for FOSS that metric is rather impossible to know,
but anyway if it is good, hence a great reason to
include it on the disc- to get it wide exposure!

If it's buggy or incomplete that's one thing. If
it is just unknown that's a very different matter,
and something we can help with.


I suggest to review and improve the overview and
quickstart reST pages, then make the final call on
whether to keep it listed on the contents page once
we get feedback from our beta testers. (a great
incentive to make the overview page clear about
what the user should expect, and to make the
quickstart clear about how to go about doing it)
