Why is this confusing?  It's no different than when I finish coding a new module in the Case Management/Medical Electronic Billing application I support.  I finish the code, test it, and then I schedule with my contact person when I will provide them with the changes.  Just because something is done, doesn't mean there aren't steps to do before you actually release something into the wild.

Originally, it was anticipated Hivewire 3D could be live by July 1, while Dawn would not be ready for release on July 1.

There were delays (as often happens with any new commercial site), and the site was not live on July 1.  I believe it is now anticipated to live by mid month. 

Meanwhile, Dawn is progressing as expected, and they are happy with the release version. Now they need to finish up preparations for releasing her.  

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the site/store goes live on the same day Dawn is released.  However, I don't expect to see Dawn or for Hivewire 3D to go live before Monday (at the earliest).  

Then too, we didn't expect to have an early release from prison (I mean work) today either.  But we were "dismissed" at 3pm (and found out at 3:30pm).  So ... we were wrong, and I could be wrong about no Dawn until Monday at the earliest.  Which I hope. 

Dawn and Hivewire 3D are a BIG thing.  iPhone killer big so to speak .  They both have the potential to be a major player (don't you just love those buzz words) in our tiny little world.  I'd expect there to be plenty of fanfare ... just as when that other place announced their "game changing" system that tore our tiny little world to pieces.

Besides ... all kinds of things can happen between now and the end of the week, and it's entirely possible that some little glitch will rear its ugly little head at the last minute.  (For the record Chris and Co, TODAY is my end of the week as I don't work Friday, and tomorrow is the Fourth of July, so gimme Dawn now!)

Quote - While there have been promises of more transparency there are still announcements of announcements and promises of the site going live…Ken said in his newsletter that the site would be live July 1, but that date has come and gone it could be weeks before we actually have a live site. Even if the site does come on line in the next few weeks, they have said that Dawn will not be immediately available when the site is live. And the latest is now that Dawn will be ready by week’s end and “when she is in hand”, they will announce her availability. I am not sure what that even means.  Didn’t they just announce that she will be done by the end of the week, but they are not saying when she will be available… YET. I am so confused.
