It is great to see people blogging that they are already running it, particularly seeing blog posts in so many different languages.
If you are testing it and need any assistance please let me know, or if you want more time to test before we release it.
After we wrap this up, we should be completely focused on WordPress 2.1 with a release targeted for before the end of the year — we will see how it goes.
