Thanks for replying Dianne, it's nice to see an official face in one of these threads. I have to say though that with the best will in the world chances are things are still going to break somewhere, although admittedly minor ones. The other thing, which is more important imo, is engaging with the community which is supporting the platform. Putting the people who put the work in at the back of the queue isn't a good idea.
