profile, get a nifty badge under your username, and gives you a special

RPG Legalities: OGF/4eGSL/d20STLDiscussions about the Open Gaming Movement, the Open Gaming License, along with WotC's GSL. This is the new home of the OGF-L and d20-L listserver discussions.
As they are on the west coast I will give them till at least 12pm eastern time to show up and until 9pm eastern before complaining that they haven't posted it yet.

You're in Sweden, so there is at least 8 or 9 hours difference in time zones. WotC legitimately has 'til end of their business day to get it up. But earlier is better!
That's certainly the way their Content Management System have been working with all other articles. They put it onto the system for a certain date of publication and at midnight (EST/EDT = the timezone where their servers are) on that date it will automatically appear on the web site.
It's not like some web monkey is handcrafting a complete HTML page everytime. It should have been ready and waiting in the CMS yesterday, at the latest.

Well, since you mentioned their CMS, my theory is they really need to define an area in the new 4e site for this, and my bet is they're not sure where to put it. Where would this go?
The GSL really is it's own category since it's meant for publishers not the general gamers, and perhaps they are setting up their own area for it, like the d20 area is where the OGL/SRD is now. Right now they don't have an appropriate place on the page to put it. So I'm wondering if it's not there now because the CMS and/or templates aren't ready to handle it.
But then again, they could've put it in news, like they did with the NDA FAQ. But maybe they don't think it's relevant to the "general audience".

If they are just starting to wonder about this today, I'm really worried.

We are excited to announce that the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Game System License will be released early next week.
The license with accompanying System Reference Document (SRD), Statement of Acceptance (AKA confirmation card), Compatibility Logo, and FAQ will be posted to http://www.wizards.com/d20 and will go live immediately upon publication. The license, logo, and acceptance form will be posted as downloadable files.
Anyone wishing to participate in the D&D 4E GSL will need to fill out a Statement of Acceptance and return it by mail to Wizards of the Coast.
First on-sale date for GSL compatible products is October 1, 2008.
We are also working on a new fan site policy, to be made public at a later date.
At least they are excited...

I figured it had to do with content management--they are putting it in the d20 folder, which means they have to (a) update those templates and (b) remove the old d20 content (I guess).
Sounds like they are still working on the fan site policy, so people waiting for those questions to be answered will have to wait a little bit.
Actually, I think they found out from the last announcement that releasing licensing info on a Friday is a bad idea.

Down on the list: seemingly real close to releasing a notebook essential. It's in layout! Has been for months now. (Just nod politely so I won't cry about this.)
