All correct, but there are a lot of them. We're figuring out how best to handle the behavior issue, floating around various approaches.


Out of curiosity -- what would people like to know about what we're doing? There was a while where we were posting teaser pictures on J2O, until people started complaining there were too many of them and other stuff like that. Now we're mostly silent except for occasional reassurances like "we know about this" or "we'll think of something." Are either of those options preferable? (With pictures presumably not on the J2O front page anymore.) Or full on development blogs? Keep in mind that I'm not saying we'll necessarily do what the majority support, but it would be nice to have some sense of where people stand on this issue.
