Speaking of calendars and Basecamp … just today I was showing my new boss how great Basecamp is, and practically her first question was “where’s the calendar?” So??
She loved Basecamp anyway, of course.

Considering all the Highrise and Basecamp improvements, I could see how this would take a back seat, but are Backpack page dividers and multi-reordering awesomeness still a consideration for the future? The screencast looked great.

Tim, we’re hard at work on that right now. Backpack was pushed back for a number of reasons. Mainly it was harder than we thought. We thought were were a lot closer to launch than we really were. But we’re back on it and looking forward to getting it out there as soon as it’s ready.
