All sounds great! We'll gladly help with the launch with a guest blog post.
Looking forward to December.

Yes, there are no changes to datasets/resources for 1.5.

I don't think the theming stuff is a massive change - so all your theming

Ah, sorry! It's a bit obscure, but we think it is a good word in the
