For those interested, there's a new group set up here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-cloud-sql-discuss It's pretty sparse at the moment, as you might expect... :) I'm mostly lurking on there for now to see what other news appears as people ask questions and early beta testers try things out - there's also an -annouce group where I expect more formal news will be posted. -- T -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
