"release early, release often"?

That is the motto of open source development (see: The Cathedral and The Bazaar, Eric S. Raymond) such as client side web scripting that, as all interpreted languages, has no compiled binary form and its users are thus forced to open source ethics and business models. Now, you are not coders, so I can't rely on you for debugging. But you are the user base, and will be forced to assist in testing. The question is: Do you want the thing early, but raw, or would you rather wait and get production quality code? You decide.
