Radek,

Just grabbed 3.4.0 from sourceforge, these are my impressions.

1. The first post says v3.2 but admin section says v3.4, need to get install.sql inline with globalfunctions.php.

2. The date of the first post should be the date you install the software, it has a date of 3/29/04.

3. The database tables need naming consistency. Some plugin tables are called nucleus_plug_??, while some are called nucleus_plugin_?? and some are uppercase like HTTPLOG which screws up sorting in phpMyadmin. I would say, plugin tables should use nucleus_plug_?? and leave nucleus_plugin_?? for the core.

4. I think you should slow down releases, wait till you have everything worked out, bugs, skins, docs and installation. Let advanced users install and test before making a release available for a wider audience.

Those are my suggestions, take it in stride.

Yap. 2 releases in 3 days. Makes life hell for newbees like me. I also suggest getting a auto-upgrade-script before next release. I still have no idea what disabling the plugins means.

never, you know what, I'm fed up with your approach, you only screem and do nothing, so STOP SCREEMING, read the documentation, learn, and then come back to this forum, ok?

also, it is pretty common to say "thank you" when I answer all you questions for free..

1. I dont scream. I think your posts have more words is capitals.

2. I did not do anything? I managed to get the Blog tool installed. And that took more than the promised 3 minutes. With your help yes. But I did not post again and again asking for help. A support forum is an open forum for help. I do not expect you to drop by everytime. If any other user on the forum is so well versed with the blog tool, he would have chipped in. But well, it does not seems like it. Show me 1 post where I have complained for lack of responses. I just asked issues what a normal user migrating from WP would face. But it seems you don't really care.

3. If you don't like answering for free, than well... Write in bold above that you won't. A support forum is for community.

4. So, reading a 100K+ document is really a nice way to start Blogging. Nice.

5. And yesterday, after the latest version was out. That post did not have the pointer to the upgrade script. Instead there was a link to a text file with SQL content that I was supposed to manually run in phpmyadmin. The smiley was supposed to be sarcasm not anger or impoliteness.

It's a shame that a fulltime user of WP tries to give a fair trial to a new blog tool that looks very promising. Asks genuine questions. Do not just maligning it in the public just because it does not install out of the box. Politely ask questions in a public forum and get to read what you just read.

Another thing, if it was not for non-troppo recommending this product, I would not have even visited this site. I really wanted to use a tool made by Opera users. But, it seems this forums seems to have picked up attitude from the Mozilla Forums.
