We have a number of improvements already in the works but would like to start with the base level for performance evaluation before adding in this extra detailing. We look forward to your reports, try not to fall off :)
Week 36
Some great progress last week. We're now arranging dates for external QA and localisation, so we're busy prepping builds for that process.
