Jake Writes,

Hi Al,

I spoke with John Robb earlier today about this, and we've slated it for the 9.1 release. Keep an eye on the manila-dev mail list for a beta of the required changes within the next couple of days.

Thanks, -Jake


Yes! Yes! Yes! And it can't come at a better time! Big time Thanks to Sam Devore for telling us edbloggers that Jake was getting busy in Cambridge. Thanks to all edbloggers who sent email and posted info on the Manila dev group board. Pat Delaney was moving behind the scenes as well. Thanks to Userland for listening!
