[Interest] Bounties?

[md at rpzdesign.com]

Bo:

I am quite shocked.

Is 5.4.1 QML so buggy as to be un-usable for mobile development?

Is the 5.4.1 mysql support so unstable as to be un-usable?

Are you saying that widgets is STILL the way to go for mobile in 5.4.x+?

Does Viking software survive in 5.4.x + only via Enterprise support?

Are the reported bugs really not getting fixed in any timely fashion?

Cheers,

md
