Currently we don't really have a timeline. We try to solve bugs as 
quickly as possible with best results but unfortunately don't have 
enough time. (If somebody wants to help please contact us!)

Well it depends on whether you want to get an official answer or not.

Officially I say: No. We don't recommend to use the SVN code in any live 
production system. It still contains bugs that can prevent the system 
from working properly. Please wait for a stable version of 1.1 if you 
want to use it within a production system. This is also valid for all 
development versions of related extensions.

Unofficial: It is sometimes difficult to verify bugs because they only 
happen on specific platforms and within specific cases. I'm using the 
SVN code in 4 production systems right now and I don't experience 
problems myself. However: You'll find lots of people who still get 
errors or have other problems if you look into the bugtracker.
The only important fact that has to be mentioned here is that if you 
update to the SVN code you _must_ update all related DAM core extensions 
to the SVN versions as well. This does not include gallery extensions, etc.

So if you use the SVN code, you might have the problem that we can't 
patch the bugs so quickly that you might need them. Again: officially we 
don't recommend to use the SVN version.

I recieved my DAM box under the christmas tree last year. Unfortunately 
it was empty ;) Well.. we don't have a valid and updated timeplan yet.
