And to think that just the other day I was bugging poor Mike Heins about
when some *real* developer resources for Interchange would come out.

Well, I must admit that developer.akopia.com looks great!  I'm so impressed
that I'm going to stop developing minivend on my new project and start
working with Interchange instead.  (Or is that still a bad idea?)

At any rate, congratulations on the community contribution, Akopia!
