Just to reiterate, the engineering work is almost done. We do plan to begin the community engagement and announcements in 2014, but it's going to take a while to make sure everyone's contacted and to give them time to digest the announcement and act accordingly.
As we're almost done with the engineering work it's not really a matter of engineering resources anymore (which is why SUL no longer features in the engineering top 5 priorities in Q2), it's just about making sure we do the communications right, and that takes time.

Thanks Dan. Can you share an approximate completion date?
Not at this stage, I'm afraid. I will only give a date when I can say with some confidence that we can meet it, and there are too many free variables for me to be able to say that right now.
What I can say with confidence is that the SUL finalisation will not happen in 2014. :-)
(What is with half of the WMF staff responding to routine emails on weekends? All you workaholics and overachievers...) :)
The weekend is when we're free from all the meetings and we actually get to focus on our work. ;-)
