It was a very quiet week last week due to Canada Day and the July 4th holidays which has allowed us at CodeProject.com to catch up on some maintenance, some pet projects, and some sleep, though not necessarily in that order. In the coming weeks we'll be sending out some beta invitations to help us perfect some new features we're adding.

If you wish to be included in these beta invitations then please make sure you are subscribed to our 'Feedback' newsletter. To do this simply visit your settings page, choose the Newsletters tab and ensure the 'Feedback' box is checked.
