There is no move currently planned but Yahoo’s commitment does not feel
strong so I expect we will need to move at some point. That’s all.

The best place for solutions and articles is probably in the wiki here
<http://wiki.superliminal.com/wiki/MC4D_Solutions>. Follow-up with me
off-line to get you set up.

There is a version of Don’s core puzzle implementation that supports
almost everything you could possibly want but it needs to be integrated
and that could be a big job. It’s on Don’s list of things he intends to
do but there’s no telling if or when that will happen. I will work from
the front end with whoever manages to do it and they will become a hero
when it’s done. Until then, whatever new puzzles you can get to work
with the build-your-own option will be all you get, sorry.

Congratulations on solving some very non-trivial non-cubes. I would love
to see more people solving them. There a many lovely ones that have
never been solved, and first-solve records can never be broken!
