It's been a fun, yet crazy week month, but the effort is yielding fruit - finally. We struggled to find a site name that wasn't already taken, and that fell into place this week like the last piece of a puzzle.
Sure, we've still got some fine tuning and lots of testing to go, but we're live now for our restricted public trial. Only a limited number of congregations will be invited to participate in the trial, but there's still room for a few more. Let us know if you'd like to jump in! You can also get a feel for the site by browsing the User's Guide under the Help menu without even logging in! Granted it's not complete yet, but it will be soon.
I've turned off the scheduler for the Communications page, so you can play with creating messages without them going anywhere for now. I'm still working out capacity issues with my e-mail provider, and I'll get that turned back on some time next week. I'll give everyone fair warning when it's about to go hot.
Last, but not least - we need your feedback. How's the service working for you? What do you like? What don't you like? What's on your personal wishlist? I know some of you will want additional reports not on the current list. Use the forums to post your input and let's get some discussion going. Your ideas may spark additional ideas. I want the evolution of this service to be driven by you, the users!
