We'll post more about that when things are ready, so please be patient.
* We're only releasing the ROM, and not the kitchen, since we would prefer to keep things under fairly tight control until we've finished with the project. So please don't ask for the kitchen. We will be releasing it when we're done.
P.S. In case you're wondering why we've been labeling all of these as Release Candidates and not alphas or betas, it's because most of these are (debatably) good enough for release to the general public already. Case in point: all of the AKU 3.5 ROMs that many of you are using already.

For the life of me I can;t understand why you wouldnt release the kitchen. Who cares if it isnt perfect and if OEMs complicates the issue. Let US decide! I have ZERO interest in yet another pre-built ROM and Im sure most here feel the same way, as has been clearly documented.
The next pre-built ROM I install will be the WM6 upgrade (if it actually lives) and that from the looks of things will happen sooner than you all will release the kitchen.
Sadly all Ive seen over the last month is OEM development dwindle to almost zero since the "Bueracracy" decided they want to take control over the software being released. Fortunately most software Im interested in has a working OEM, even though its not perfect it works. That simple philosophy has been replaced with the typical "when its done" line so often used in the s/w industry.
As Ive said all along who are YOU all to decide when/if the kitchen gets released? Picture where we would be had Helmi_c decided to limit availability of his code to a small circle?
The Kitchen and the OEMs should be your ONLY priority, period but as typical when a select group decide they know better than the masses, the masses suffer.
I know this post sounds harsh but if you try to actually undertand my arguments as Ive plainly laid them out without your ego's getting in the way perhaps you will understand what people actually want as opposed to what you want to FEED them.
