As you can see, the Croatians are translating like crazy! A lot of the other languages have nearly completed their translations. We should have a good range for the 3.0.1 release.

This made my day

I woke up this morning and checked my emails (as you do). And I noticed a message from Krishnan in India about a couple more libraries going live.
The thing that made my day was the thank you pages.

It feels good to be appreciated
