Thanks, Wolf.

Now seriously, it's not all _that_ great....  You may not yet understand that the 1.2 release is ONLY a security update.

Now 1.3 which is also released today is much better - though I am not sure it deserves Gorgeous and Praise.

But we hope you like it. :-)

IMHO

 Dear @Jay, thank for your reply. Allow me to add my personal evaluation.  I started as a Dummy user 2003 with CSM open source software. Coming to Drupal Community as a no native English I experienced some very significant events that enriched my personal position and knowledge about getting support, start to provide contribution and finally become an advanced Drupal user. Of course every people that like to join personally or in business offering content have a kind of idea on what to implement. My praise may be really personal but I guess that others like me started 3 years ago for looking to find and building a CMS site that offer the possibility to expand and enhance without barriers like you Guys started with Drupal Commons, everyone will understand my enthusiastic feelings.

 Open Source is not only obvious in Open Source Communities,  now Acquia as a business company is doing that too. That is obvious too. But what not everybody understand and praise,  when a team/staff and the leadership start to offer solutions without any barriers for user to use and expand a they like, without have to hassle with some Design or Core aspects in using an open source product.

You guys chipped in even if there are some other similar open source solution out there but keeping in mind the philosophy of open source, especially those that characterize the Drupal Community.

P.S. I was completely aware of the difference of the DC versions no worries.

 Kind Regards
