Yes, good news coming. We also have a new person who is going to stay active in the forum here to help communicate a bit better. We're getting her set up now.

As for trading, I don't think people would like it too much if the devs could control the price of our own coin. That would be manipulation at its best. However, we need to do a better job communicating to the community which is definitely a full time job. So we have a good friend, Latasha, who will be assisting us with this.
