We have a lot of experience in the area and are excited about the plans we have for it.&lt;p&gt;Second, the guys at 37signals were a pleasure to work with. They were open, transparent, and are committed to the success of Sortfolio.&lt;p&gt;We&apos;ll be doing the full transition in the weeks to come. Once we are all done, we&apos;ll post a proper retrospective and fill everyone in on the details.&lt;p&gt;We can&apos;t wait to share more!</text></comment>
