Oh, I could be wrong, but I thought that the beta version that was online now was the "first release" and intended for beta use only. I could be mistaken, but that was my understanding.

I don't see that there is a rush. There is no requirement that units use the beta. The link to the beta has only been publicized in the forum. We have most of this year to test it. There may be a period during 2012 that v1 will be available. But in my opinion that gives time to work out issues that need to be taken care of before everyone begins 2013 with the new lesson scheduler and the classic is retired. The only point I am seeing discussed is that the stake will not have input directly to the online schedule at least for version 1. That could be incorporated before the release that is used for 2013.

Essentially I am repeating what AileneRHerrick has posted. I like the idea of having hands-on before it replaces the classic. The classic is still available and I suspect will be for a while after version 1 is released.

Until there is a version 1 it is not an official release. Alpha and beta versions are pre-release stages of development. The release today was beta revision 506, not yet to version 1.

Will the Scheduler be available in other languages with Version 1? Hopefully German is available : -)

I need to clarify some things here, and I see I should have been clearer earlier. Once the known bugs in this version are worked out, we will reset the data, remove the beta warnings, and begin linking to the application. It will then be officially available for wards to use.

In other words, the functionality that is there right now is the intended functionality for the 1.0 release. We still have a developer fixing bugs, but our resources are being moved on to other projects right now.

Our goal right now is to wrap up before the end of the month.

There are enhancements on our backlog for future releases, which we intend to fund, but we don't get to choose our own budget, so I can't give a timeline. We really tried to focus on the most basic functionality that would make the application useful. There are lots of cool bells and whistles that we had to leave out for now.

Once we are fairly certain there are no more major changes to the UI, we will submit the English strings to translation. As far as I know, we intend to submit for the same 11 languages the calendar is available in. However, when using the lesson in a language, your manual selections will be limited to the manuals that are available on LDS.Org in the language you have selected, which may vary based on the language.

Oh, and since it's my fault that I wasn't clearer that this was a short beta, I'll try to sooth the wounds by saying as much as I can. You want us to move on to the other projects.

Don't worry. No offense taken here. I think you did good by focusing on the ward level first.
