If there is no objection, I'd like to release the first version of

developers at the beginning of August, whatever status it is in. At the

from GRUB Legacy. I'm also going to implement a simple installer for
GNU/Linux within this month.
Great!
After that, I'd like to keep releasing new versions constantly.
Hopefully, one
per two or three months. The version numbers will be 1.9x, until we
make GRUB
2 stable enough on PC.
For me, for PowerPC, the question has been first "can we replace
current bootloaders?" and second "what features can we add to compel
people to switch?" I think releasing GRUB2 without all the features of
GRUB 0.9x would be a tough sell... but of course, I'm talking about end
users here. Developers and early adopters may find it interesting
enough even in its current state.
