To a large extent, yes. Any faults in the software are not
important/critical bugs.

I am actually in a rather complicated situation here, travelling at  
around 1 train/day.
Still, I think that your idea is sensible. I hope a release will enable
more contributions from others.

So, provided that no other suggestions (Behdad/Elzubeir?) are done, I
will release a 0.3 alpha tomorrow. After clearly documenting how to
install and use the package.

Hopefully, we can get a beta by next week.
