I think 0.10 would be quite acceptable. So far there have been no 
promises of guaranteed APIs; I don't think that it'd be fair to 
guarantee such a thing without any documentation!

As far as a 1.0 release: mode tracking is a very good thing. I'd like 
to also have some kind of last-seen or last-spoke tracking, and 
documentation. Needless to say I've no time to work on any of this 
myself :-)
