You heard it here first: “on January 28, 2007, we will launch the refreshed WJ site.”  Feeling a little cocky earlier today, we posted our pre-launch squib to the home page.

Tomorrow morning is our traditional “go/no-go” meeting, at which the development team and some of us less-godlike-but-still-involved program folks will determine whether the stars are in alignment, the bugs are squashed, the stylesheets and databases and html code looking sharp, and the kazillion other details are solid enough (or at least sufficiently tacked down) to start the count-down to 1/28.

The odds of that actually happening have been fluctuating wildly all day (right now I’ve got the Bears by 3 and a 70% likelihood we’ll actually launch on the 28th).  Tomorrow we decide for sure.  Keep your fingers crossed!
