Topic: Bring on 2019
What plans are on the horizon for 2019? [Perhaps the same question as “What didn’t you manage to get to in 2018?”] There are some new products, new archives, any plans about things that are newly available as of 2019? Can we make it through this without making the New Year’s Resolution joke? No? Yeah, I didn’t really think so.
