I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

As you may know, the new YWS will miss the deadline of February 28. However, not to fret! It still is being worked on and part of the reason it's missing the deadline is because I'm being extremely ambitious. After all, I don't want to meet the deadline but release a subpar product. I rather take the time necessary to perfect it, and I'm sure most would agree.
So when can you expect the new YWS? Work for me revs up in March, then wounds down in April. However, school, which should be slow for me in March, revs up in April with final exams the last week of April & first week of May.
This means you shouldn't expect anything during March. However, the chances of seeing something slowly increase in April before going to zilch again in the last week of April. After the first week of May, the chances of seeing something slowly increase once again. By June, those chances dramatically shoot up. In all, the chances of the new YWS being released before July is 90%. By month, I would say there's a probability of 10% of seeing it in April, 30% of seeing it in May, and 50% of seeing it in June.
When the new YWS is ready, the rollout will be done over a period of three weeks. During the first week, JMs, Instructors, and Greeters will be invited to check it out (in that order). During the second week, everyone will be invited to check it out. These two weeks are meant to just give people a chance to get used to it. The third week will be the blackout period, during which the database is transferred from the old YWS to the new YWS. During the blackout period, the backup YWS will be open.
So hopefully that gives you a better idea of what's going on!
That was a lot of info. Too many percentages. Have mercy.
