      Well, and a cross platform editor.

 Note that current ideas call for making a 1.0 release in the next few months.

 I would say except for some balancing, server is pretty much ready.

 Except for metaserver contact information, I would say the unix clients are
ready.

 You can probably comment on the readiness for windows client.

 Editor is the one that would look most doubtful to me.  I'm going to start
another thread on that simply so it stays dedicated.

 I don't have a problem with everything be called version 1.0 when we first make
a release.  But it should be clear that you don't necessary need a 1.01 client
to say play on a 1.01 server (lets presume that so patches get put out).

 I'm not positive by what you mean with same name for same tool.  Certainly, the
clients could all start with something like 'crossfire-client-1.0-unix.tar.gz'
and
'crossfire-client-1.0-windows', and 'crossfire-client-1.0.i386.rpm' if we decide
to
include various binaries for various OS's.
