Hi Austin, Have there been any updates on the cron front in the last couple of months? I'm also interested in using it but ran into the same problem Smola did--no docs. I'll try to hack up Stocky if that's our best resource, but if the new cron system was close to being completed maybe it would be better to go that route.
