Well -
0.1.0 - 0.3.0 3.5 months
0.3.0 - 0.5.0 4.0 months
0.5.0 - 0.7.0 2.5 months
0.7.0 - 0.9.0 11 months and counting (or more than half of the total
time since initial release)

Currently, we have the field support to do page numbering. There's a
message in the archives somewhere that mentions how to hack the .abw file
to put them in. I hope we don't break that when we change fields.

IMHO, it would be ok if we didn't have online help in 1.0, but we
definitely need *something*. As to the language, I was going to try
Klingon, but I don't think that Unicode supports the char set.

I suspect that there are several more duplicates we haven't found yet,
too. I suppose that lots of bug reports are a sign of user interest. But
I have to admit to prefering 817 bugs to 36933 (the current mozilla
count).
