Also some sort of better ETA predictor for fixes and releases (perhaps a release manager role might be good for the company) as a lot of predictions are quite vague / or non existent. The answer to a lot of questions seems to be "we are working on it, we cant give you an ETA but we'll let you know on the blog when it is fixed/that feature is available etc.." eg. still waiting for 1.0 to 2.0 upgrade and have no idea when you are going to roll out how to do this. You must have some idea of timescales for things.... some grand plan....? thanks for fixing it. be good to have some description of why it went wrong and what steps are in place to stop it happening again.

It gives the impression that there is a possibility to see our wikis, but not edit them. In fact, we can neither read nor edit our wiki. I would suggest to change this message, but of course please first fix the access to our wikis :-) Here is a link to a time zone map where you can check what 04am pacific time corresponds to in your time zone (I'm in Europe, for example). Good luck fixing whatever is broken! I agreed with some of the above posts that the “read-only” message is slightly misleading.

You mean like it being 15 min after they said it should be available and it isn't? I wish people wouldn't give arbitrary times. I mean... I can feel their pain, I'm a software developer that occasionally has problems too. However, I don't state deadlines I can't meet... if I don't know how long something will take I tell people it'll be done when it's done. This is why we run simulations. > Anything new to report?
