Anyway, just curious if anybody based in Ireland is there.

Thanks, I didn’t know that. I remember the creator of the spec saying that they felt it was more important now to grow communities rather than develop the spec further. it’s likely that this is all we’ll get for a while.
I’d say it would be easier to grow communities with a more advanced spec, but maybe they’re trying to avoid being too advanced.
