The exact dates will depend on what we find once we move into closed beta and how long it'll take before we can get into open beta -- I can't even estimate this far out, and I don't want to tell people anything wrong! I can promise we will give *plenty* of notice, though -- we'll set the date for our open beta launch at *least* one week, and most likely two or more, in advance. And since "going into open beta" will correspond with "permanent accounts going on sale", we will be shouting it everywhere and encouraging everyone else to do the same. :) --D -- Denise Paolucci [email protected] Dreamwidth Studios: Open Source, open expression, open operations.
