- UI mostly done
- Next step is to use libnm to make connections
- Feedback from Pioneer users re: apt issue (Danny)

- lessons:
- continue to improve on testing before new release
- better documentation for how to resolve issues (e.g. how to do SSH)
- If we answer a question on the forum, we should ask why the answer wasn't already in the documentation and then modify the documentation.
