It will be better

I admit- I got up early and logged into GALILEO- hoping to see the "new" version, nada. When I arrived at school and checked e-mail, I was greeted with this information:

---------------------
Dear GALILEO Users,


We had hoped that the release of four new interfaces for each of our GALILEO user communities would occur at the transition between Fall and Winter school calendars in order to have the lowest possible impact on users, given the year-round services libraries provide, and had been aiming for the week of December 17th. When that didn’t happen, we had hoped with some intense work over the holidays we would still be able to make that transition in early January. However, due to some challenges discovered as we prepared to move from beta into production, the new interfaces will not be ready until March. A fifth interface intended to replace the Kid's interface now in production is being revisited based on feedback from usability and K12 stakeholders; the current Kid's interface will continue to be in use through March.

Thank you for providing help and assistance with this release and the many positive comments you have shared – I know that a delay is not what any of us were expecting, but we hope that we will have a better product that will serve your users well in the early Spring. Please let me know if you have specific questions about this. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Merryll

So we'll be patient and wait till March. Better to do it right than do it over.
