Quote from Jeff

Yep, there's no way to lie about facts. There was some internal circumstances that resulted in the lack of progress since the merge before I was officially brought on, but it's not really a devastating secret that the merge didn't go at all as expected. I have only officially been a developer on SP for a few months during which time I've made tons of real progress that I've been posting about at least once a month in the linked thread. Stickpage has always been notorious for the amount of time it takes to do anything and part of my job now is to fix that. The state of SP is such that any real progress will be made in leaps, and as I am once again the only person working on an entire website it will take "a while" in my own terms as there is a lot of work to do. The difference this time around is that I'm putting in effort to be transparent about my activity relating to this site so that anyone can see or ask where I'm at and get a direct no-bullshit answer. That wasn't a privilege afforded to this community previously, and the only reason I do it is because that's what I have wanted as a regular member of the site since the merge. I don't know what more I could be doing until we're at a point where having people beta test is possible. You guys will just have to trust that I got this.
