Would rather post one where we've got something more concrete in terms of our upcoming direction and how we're going to be addressing concerns brought up by the community. As we're still figuring it out, seems appropriate to hold the current one.

Contemplating whether to do a Captain's Log tomorrow (Weds). Don't really have much to share in terms of future plans yet as we're still figuring things out. It would just be another filler one sharing the recent notes and the show n tell. Not keen on those.
