PATCHES - Countdown for February 3rd

[Colin Campbell]

Happy Lunar New Year!


Here is the current patch countdown list, my first in many years. I 
welcome any feedback, comments, or advice, as I'm still getting in touch 
with the current environment and developers.

The next countdown will be on Thursday, February 3rd.


Cheers,

Colin
