I wanted to thank everyone for all of your feedback and comments. We are
working internally to resolve a few of the code issues some of you have
pointed out as I announce this, and hope to have further announcements
addressing these issues shortly.
We did not have a long period of time to test this as we felt it was more
important to get this out the door with all of the other wonderful changes
and launches we have scheduled to focus on. We are interested in hearing
about any shortcomings you see and encounter, and will work to get the more
important issues fixed ASAP and the others released for version 2, TBA but
probably sometime in the early new year.
If you would like to contact me off-list with further comments please feel
free to do so, otherwise I will be watching to see what we can and cannot
use at this moment.
