It is a way of saying not to cut off the community at large. It has not been received well that SDK updates are available to only few under NDA, selected by the Challenge, without letting anybody know. This could have been explained and accepted without much fuss. An hour per day worth of effort (my estimate) is all it would take to keep the community informed - and even if things cannot be shared with the public at a certain point, the bare minimum that we (the developer community) could reasonably expect is to at least be kept in the loop on the superficial level. Right now the developer community seems to fall apart. This post- Challenge period left an impression with many that we're considered Google roadkill. All the way through spring this year we accepted to build our apps at-risk (no established platform). Fine, but we did not expect getting dropped like a hot potato. This has pushed me over anyways. Summer of no code here. It's a bummer really - a browse through Apple's brand new app store leaves me largely unimpressed. JP
