Hi all,
Here is more information for those of you who have signed up to use
Montage for your jury process this year. [1]
The developers of Montage (cc-ed) have been working hard in the past
months on the latest release of Montage which will, among other
things, bring some of the features and functionalities you told us
about last year. [2] We are excited to bring these improvements to
you, and here is the timelines for it [2]:
* 2017-09-30 around 21:00 UTC: I will start creating campaigns for
each country that has signed up in [1].
* 2017-10-01 around 21:00 UTC: We will share the link to where the new
montage version will live with you. Your jury coordinator (listed in
[1]) can create round 1 of your jury process then.
* 2017-10-02 around 21:00 UTC: your jury can start the jury process.
Any issue in [3] tagged with "high priority" will be ready by
2017-10-01, 21:00 UTC. These are features that you need in place to
create your round 1. Issues tagged with "normal priority" will be done
starting 2017-10-02. These are features that are either not critical
in the early days of your jury process or we know that are relevant
only when you get to the final ranking round.
While you are waiting the new version of Montage to become available:
please make sure you have your jury ready and also make sure you have

Questions and comments are welcome.
Best,

[1] If you haven't signed up and you want to use Montage, please sign
your country up at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Montage as soon as
possible.
[2] We may be able to meet the deadlines earlier than the times
specified here, but we can't promise that. If we have things ready
earlier, we will shift deadlines for you to start earlier.
