So near - yet so far...

Just as we were about to launch our latest round of testing a couple of weeks ago, Firefox 3 released and broke our open-source WYSIWYG editor :(

We could have just gone ahead, but at just over 25.6 Million downloads (check out the current count here)it's not something we could ignore.

Ahhhh - the perils of open-source...

It's a constant conversation we have while developing the site - how much should we build ourselves and how much open source should we use? The pros and cons of each are obvious, often favouring open-source. Except in situations like this.

Anyway, I'm sure a fix is just around the corner - so those of you who have signed up, stay tuned for a release some time this week.

If you haven't signed up but would like to help us build something special, please pop into www.oneeyedeer.com and leave us your details.

We promise not to spam you or do anything else rude like that :)

More news to come...
