Hello Charles, Thank you very much for gathering all the information necessary for the report. Everything looks good for me except one thing I'm not sure about. I have some doubts about the new planned release date, seems not very realistic to me at the moment. I'm not a manager but I think it could be useful to have a clear documented release strategy and define an approximate list of features&fixes to be included. Sorry if it is not purely related to the board report topic, I just shared my thoughts.
