We were hoping to get this out to everyone in time for Xmas/new year, but it is clear now that this is not going to happen. Getting this work finished remains a priority, so I just wanted to reiterate that I can't be as responsive to requests as I would like until this happens. Hopefully it will all be worth it.

Staring down from his cave with a sour, Russy frown
At the warm lighted windows below in their town.
For he knew every Who down in Who-ville beneath
Was busy now, hanging a mistletoe wreath.
"And they're hanging their stockings!" he snarled with a sneer.
"Tomorrow is Christmas! It's practically here!"
Then he growled, with his Russ fingers nervously drumming,
"I MUST find a way to keep Christmas from coming!"
So he rode to the tavern
and ordered a beer
and put off the work
until later, next year
(with apologies to Dr. Seuss)

Is there a place for us to preview what this new site is going to look like? Did I miss a Request For Comments announcement?
The site functionally is much the same, UI layout is not dramatically different, to avoid confusion for established users.
But, it is a much needed "reboot" of lots of old code, that can be then used going forward. (Most home grown JavaScript library code replaced with open-source equivalents, with exception of new board UI code.)
The most contentious change is a change to fixed width web pages (with slightly larger fonts). The "my games" page (which is currently wide) looks very different as a result.
For what it’s worth, I much prefer using the new design now, and can't wait to roll it out.

Any updates?
Loved the screen shots, looking forward to the roll out.
