We will have an update on betaplace in a month or so.  I think you'll really enjoy this update.  The majority of the language is now complete and you can do some amazing things with it.  I'm giving an INTRO and ADVANCED Monad Scripting class at MMS next week so please drop by if you are attending.

We are working with on the of the server teams and that partnership is going extremely well.  (They don't want us announcing their features so you'll have to have some fun guessing for a little bit.)  They are driving a great set of requirements and validating a lot of our work.  In particular, all of their admins GUIs are written in MMC2.1 and layered on top of MONAD.  There is nothing that you can do in the GUI that you can't also do from the Command Line!  Working with a large scale server product helps ensure that those scenarios work really well.

We are still planning to ship downlevel support and in the OS but the specifics are not available at this time.  You shouldn't read too much into that.  We are just getting hard-core about remaining silent about vehicles and timing until all the details are nailed down.
