Hi Ben:

Thanks for doing this. Yes, getting the PR would seem the priority. 
Getting the temporary Silverstripe site is taking a little longer and 
should be finished by week's end Sunday (hopefully) and we will be able 
to better concentrate on PR (Canada for my part). I'm hoping to getting 
back to constructing a mail listing for PR announcements in Canada.

Education right now is a little on hold. I am wondering how LibreOffice 
will be released in its final form. Right now, no spellcheck and no help 
files are a big problem from the point of view of an office suite for 
educational purposes. I am really not sure if I could really sell this 
as a serious MSO contender. The devs are looking into this.

Marc
