Hello!

A very warm welcome to the m2f Development Team’s new blog. We have set this up primarily as a means to keep you updated on our progress, but also to explain and explore some of the design concepts and decisions we have been working on.

Pda0 and I will endeavour to post here fairly frequently, so why not subscribe to the RSS feed to receive instant updates?

Remember, during the Alpha/Beta development phase, you can join in group discussions by emailing to beta@mail2forum.com. Bugs, Issues and Feature Requests should be posted to the m2f 2.0 tracker.
