This evening, we will be pulling the beta sign-up form. We have about 500 sign-ups, which is about 475 more than I expected, so I think we have enough people to kick it around when we launch the private beta on (or around) December 1st.

If you didn't get in on the first sign-up, I will be posting a sign-up for the waiting list when we pull the beta sign-up. If any of the initial 500 people don't participate, we will pull names from the waiting list.

We're not trying to lock anyone out. We just want to keep the beta process manageable so that we can address issues and get them resolved quickly. Having hundreds of people logging the same bug could prove to be a bad idea, but it will be better than having 1,000 people doing it (which is the pace we were on).

And if you *did* sign-up for the beta, I will be sending out an e-mail tonight explaining how the process will go.
