Speech Timer for Android

Hi All, We’re starting work on the Android version of Speech Timer. Aireen will be doing much of the development work as she spearheads our venture into the platform.

Fund Watch received a takedown notice

Sandboxing the PubSub framework

Lion’s sandboxing deadline may have been pushed back, but News Anchor came through and met the original date.
