I have to say the timing of the news was good, whether or not it moved the market last night or not. There's been a lot of talk about how things have slowed down around here and an announcement like this is helpful to keep people going while we all look forward to some highly anticipated changes.

The question now is, how long will it take to finish up the remaining bits, and how will it be deployed in relation to HF 20, since I understand those to be separate things.

I would hope that the communities/hivemind hybrid could be in place before Velocity and the flood gates open. I may have said this before, but acclimating current users to a new setup would be good so we can turn around and help the masses when they come. :)
