Dear All,
I would like to formally thank our Forum update team, including Sekishi, Koushi, Kotei and others behind the scenes (please let me know if I fail to mention someone.) Not only was this a project months in preparation, followed by weeks and long days of test runs, but last minute surprises and twists led to a very, very long weekend and much missed sleep for our engine room crew. What is more, there are still the odd tunings needed, and they are still hard at work:
The result is lovely, even if it will take a few days to figure out some of the new buttons on the spaceship control panel.
Everything that was here before seems to still be here, and many new little neat aspects.
I am reminded that, although our temple is made of electricity and light, it must have been the same in the old days when time came for a major rebuild, relocation or new additions to the old monasteries. Eiheiji and the other great places did not start off the size, shape or even exactly location they are now. That all came over time. They are the product of carpenters and artists, land clearers and tree cutters, roofers and gardeners. I imagine that monks of old also spent the first few days in their new place peaking into rooms and a bit lost in the maze. Soon, however, it will be home.
Thank you again. Many of the benefits to this new Forum are hidden, in software and security patches that are not so obvious. This was more than a cosmetic change and, while all things are constant change in the universe, some changes are necessary and helpful.
Thank you again.
Gassho, Jundo
