Software ready to download?

Or 3, what another site I know of does, is have a bunch of pinned FAQ type topics that answer questions that have already been asked and explain common information. Basically pinned information posts.

Weekly updates with all the technical details about exactly what the Dev-team is doing. A link to JIRA, where you can see in detail what they’re doing (on a minute to minute basis). A whole forum where you can ask questions and get multiple answers (sometimes within minutes). We’re all excited about the project, we all want to hear: “In 3 weeks we’ll release this, a week after that we’ll release that”. But that’s not how things are done when developing software. Ethereum Frontier (their 1.0 version) is at 98% if you check their barometer, but even they can’t give you a date for when they launch. That’s not because they don’t want to, it’s because with software you want to check, check and double check. If you fix one bug, you might find another at that same time. And don’t forget, Maidsafe changed to another program language to make it easier for other Devs to jump in. They also changed the architecture. They also decided to build in other modules. And again, you can ask questions here on the forum and I’m sure you’ll get all the answers you want.

You’re right. Jira, github, the forum, (and I don’t mean to be insulting because time and effort is put into it) the roadmap lastly, simply because things change direction so fast even though this current one seems to really be holding up. The answers are there and I know it’s not all laid out for the non techy but just do what I did after learning about Maidsafe, buy a programming for dummies book, go back and fourth between system docs and Wikipedia, go to github and button mash till you figure out how that works and next thing you know you have a general understanding, you’re well informed by the resources available, and your jaw drops even further over how amazing and impactful this tech will be on the world.
