Welcome back to the EOL newsletter. For the last
few months, we have been using the feedback on
the first version of EOL to prepare for a new major

EOL into a richer environment with new opportunities
for participation. We are ready to accommodate our
higher-than-anticipated user traffic and we look
forward to sharing our progress with you here.
