It's coming along. Realistically a few more weeks yet. Hang in there, and sorry about the delay. We will get more screenies up and stuff soon also.

I've been involved with software development (not the actual programming, though) for several years and know from experience that developers will rarely commit to a deadline for the release of new software. Those that do give such a date often find themselves having to either extend the deadline or release the software with unfixed known bugs. As Arthur says, he won't know himself until just before the actual release. I'm afraid we'll have to be satisfied with "a few more weeks yet".
I do agree that a screenshot or two would be nice, though.
