Christmas happens every year -- maybe they're early. ;)

I thought Rev had startup tips -- were those yanked recently?

Maybe even better would be more pre-scripted components.  We hear from 
HC users that copy-and-paste components were one of the main things they 
liked about HC, and I believe that in any given gene pool non-scripters 
outnumber scripters by at least 10 to 1.

If that becomes a priority for RR it would be helpful to see this BZ 
request implemented:
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2144>

That would allow certain groups to be treated as a single control, both 
in terms of interaction and in control lists.  It makes crafting, 
sharing, and using custom controls much simpler.

Extra bonus points if they decided to favor the component 
interoperability spec Ken's been putting some good time into:
