Populous beta is out and token owners get to watch the progress, almost all people who should get the pxt received it, looks like they have tripled the size of the programming staff to help get things done, and smart contract available.
From Clif's report: populous will be first mover in the factoring space to be emulated to be chased
Also there's the addition of Jack Lee to the team. Some people talk about other projects but any finish for them is in the very distant future.
Estimated completion dates imo:
Populous - this month or early next month
Paypie - March 2019
Debitum - May 2019
This is based on trend we're seeing where it takes longer to finish things than expected. It seems like everything else doesn't happen as fast as people want.
