[ros-dev] Status Meeting (November 2018)

[Dick]

It is common use to start beta from 0.5 because it is half way up to 1.0. 
bringing 0.5 as alpha willl cause much disappointment and is confusing for 
users.
I think an interesting point to talk about would be a roadmap. when can 
average users start to use reactos as their daily os? Is reactos able to 
become usable as windows-alternative before windows is gone and forgotten?
