Yes, I have to hold my hands up and say that this has been a bit of an embarrassment on my part. What's currently holding us back from releasing them is that the developer key system that we've had built doesn't work on the serving environment we're running backstage on. Because of the sensitivity around the commercial value of the weather feeds, it's a feed we can only make available via a developer key. I really am sorry that there has been such delay in getting this out - it's a been real albatross around my neck too. I'm not going to make a promise to get this out by date X because for various reasons I just won't be able to guarantee the date. There's no point in me promising a deadline to you that I can't be sure will be met. I WILL promise to keep you all informed of progress - and in the meantime I appreciate your continued patience on this one...
