NUX project: wrapped up (*crosses fingers*) some of the stuff that will improve the signup flow and have shifted toward the wizard walkthrough features.

Another bug fix release with some fixes to the ActionBarSherlock library and James Hu’s comment editing patch.
The next major version is 2.4 (WPcom Notifications). This release is progressing, push notifications are working and the UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. is being wired up.
Windows Phone : status
Nothing big in the pipeline, although there’s now a milestone with tickets for the next update.

Rachel got in touch (yay!) so we’ll bring her up to speed on the status of the handbook as well.
