This is Open Source so it's ready when it's ready :) We'll try to 
publish new releases quite often anyways, hopefully after one or two 
months (though the schedules tend to slip every time...)

Maybe it would be best to disable (gray out) the item if the path or any 
of the files under it isn't writable for the user. It enhances usability 
because the user can't then even try to do something which he can't 
complete. Coloring is of course very easy to add and we can test it, too.

Hmmm, why not. Actually you could use our sf.net bzr repository. 
Eventually I have to delete it again some day, but if we use it now, I 
can take care that everyone knows when it happens. It's then easy to 
push the branch there again. Using the sf.net repo could give us 
valuable experience.
