If you're looking for a "product" from the W3C, you're likely to
be disappointed.
The priority is to experiment with features and provide
proof-of-concept implementations. We expect the consumers of Amaya to
be mostly developers, not end-users.
There's a certain level of quality and usability necessary so that the
bugs don't prevent you from seeing the features, but we're not likely
to do the last 20% of the work that takes 80% of the time.
But who knows... we will be releasing source code with no
restrictions (don't ask when: it will be several months from
now) and perhaps outside contributors could do some amazing stuff...
