DECEMBER DELAYS
During December, between the holidays and some difficult life changes for members of staff we were unable to meet some of our original projections.

We'd like to apologize for the additional and unexpected delays especially around the holidays during December that caused a general delay in our work queue. We are regrouping and getting back on track for the new year!

VAER BALANCING STATUS
CUSTOM QUEUE STATUS
Due to our holiday delays during the month of December, we needed to pause our work on the custom queue to focus on our site-wide task list instead. We're looking to be back on track this month with finishing the current and taking on the next batch!

UPCOMING PLANS
Once the Vaer Balancing update is out, we'll be looking at updating our current priorities and working fully towards the Marketplace updates. More info on this as we progress!
