[community] WordPress needs help testing their new authoring environ

[Brian Moore]

		Hi Jess.  This is really cool.  Been looking for this for a while.  I 
am going back  to the ministry of  Government and Consumer services in a 
couple of weeks for another year, in theory.  This is something I could 
really use as I think some of my ideas around platform changes for 
public facing things might be gaining some traction after a couple of years.


Thanks for this! Will certainly follow up.


Brian.
