Preferable you wait for them to finish and see the outcome of the maintenance but be rest assured, from the update I'm getting the platform will come back stronger and better. As regards to the signature campaign, it never started therefore I don't see the need to paused it, it's still open although applicants haven't been accepted yet.

New interested applicates are free to drop their application and ones I get a go ahead, I'll accept those I find worthy of working with to bring about a better exposure to the project. Already some very promising promoter have been selected but yet to be announced since it'll be a waste of resources promoting an offline platform.
