Thank you @KayneSchwarz for compiling this status. It really helps me make sure I didn't miss anything. Really looking forward to the new gamification ideas. Anxious to see what the team has in mind.

Awesome! Looking forward to the gamification concept.
One thing I would like to highlight is to keep the Monthly Release updates open for comments and let @VickiA answer the queries. The reason behind this is that In May month's release VickiA mentioned that one idea had been delivered in that particular month when it was not the reality or atleast I haven't seen it in NUX
