I would also like your guys opinion on the replacement site I've been
working on this weekend :
http://flex.darktech.org
If you guys like it, i'll throw it in the SVN. It is built around the
Apache CMS (a local copy is what is serving it off my machine), so we could
make it live fairly quickly -

Nice job Nick.
Nick,
The desktop view looks great. The view on my android phone looks
different, but does not seem to scale well. Are you planning to do more
work on the mobile versions?

I haven't done much with the mobile version yet (other than use the

the new version 4.9 + installer 2.0.

Thank you for the help, Justin. IMO, the reason to do a press release is to
engage business managers outside of software development. So, it is important
to remove [or explain] all the lingo that only a developer would understand.

OK, I read it over. In general, I like it, although I think words are being
