The site is past my original predicted release date due to issues with a particular programmer I was working with.

Predicted release date? That's funny. Development projects are forcasted. A good project manager never blames his programmers and developers.

If you want professional help and service, don't hesitate to as me (or other willing members).

hahahaha i just had an information business systems lecture at university today, talking about meeting deadlines and milestones in information system structured design...apparently, from the statistics given in the lectures, only 28% of all projects do meet requirements, deadlines, within budget constraints, on time and meets user's requirements. i just hope that this project IS one of those 28%, and not the 23% that is cancelled before completion! (the other 49% are ones that exceeded the system's constraints, budgets and deadlines).

PS: i no way am i wanting to jinx this project at all! but i do respect Andrew's decision of quality over speed, and I am willing to be more patient for the goodies that we shall be experiencing in time!

Many thanks, Andrew!

Dear Andrew,

Since you are the owner of MVD, could you share with us what your vision is for MVD? What direction do you envision the MVD should take? Do you envision a more commercial use of MVD, or do you think MVD should aim at improving the quality of magic?

Could you also tell us about your own background? Are you a magician yourself (I would assume this is somewhere on the site or in your profile, but couldn't find it anywhere)?
Who are your favorite magicians? What do you perceive as good magic?

Thank you for your help.
