You are spot on! It's been pretty cool to see how close knit and supportive the PAL community feels. It's awesome to see a new "waive of whales" as well. The curation feels so much different and I think it's a much friendlier place for newbs because the chance of them getting noticed is much higher. Because the team members got a nice stake from the beginning - there are a lot more manual curators out there.

Exciting times!
