Hi guys -- Just to clarify, there isn't a problem of resources for profiles vs the new editor or image caching bugs. Those are handled by different teams of engineers and product managers. We've got a team working on the new editor; it's taken a long time to finish that project because it's a complicated project, and that team is being very thorough.

The communication features like chat and the new profile masthead are being built by a separate team with a different schedule. Profile masthead isn't as complicated of a feature, so it hasn't taken as long to build as the new editor. Image caching bugs are taken care of by the ops team.

So -- there's no competition between the different kinds of projects that we work on. If we took everybody off the communication features, it wouldn't get the new editor out faster; it would just get the communication features out slower.
