While there's a lot of truth to this, arguably the "done-ness" of a project has little to do with the project itself, but the intentions of the author. I have a project on the brink of release. I'm tossing it over the wall, announcing it to the community it's directed toward and have no real intentions to move it forward. I am satisfied with it. It's a "90/90" project. That last 90 pushing it that last mile of polish and such. It is still imperfect, and it will remain that way. I have grander designs and plans, and I'd rather have imperfect but serviceable distributed and released than have it "more perfect", but sitting on my hard drive. I also don't want to engage in any real back and forth with the community to fix what they may find imperfect. I'd rather put my time in my next effort. If some real showstopper raises its head, I'll certainly address that. But I consider it "feature complete". Because what I certainly don't want, is a half done project, with any hopes raised or promises made only to have my attention off chasing some other shiny thing (which it is wont to do). But a lot of the last 10% has been spent on "stuff I hate". I consider myself a framer and drywaller, leaving the mudding and finish carpentry to others. So, it's been a bit of a slog, but the summit is in sight, adding some wind to my sails to get it over the top and ship it out.
