But, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to at least share my ideas.  I
imagine that everybody who is on the MDP will have plenty of their own ideas,

it possible that it could lead to something good?

I don't think even the people on the MDP will have much input along the lines of
what you're thinking - with only a few months before release, I imagine the role
of the MDP people will be that of beta-testers - bang on it and report software
bugs and other things that arent working, build models and find things that are
difficult or confusing or unreliable, get a head start on writing the books and
reviews and websites so that when it hits the shelves, there is already info and
buzz, etc, but I'm not sure there would be much scope for making suggestions,
I'm guessing most of the system would be largely nailed down by now.

Hey you don't know if they emailed everyone so you might still make it?  I know
that's probably wishful thinking on my part but Steve mentioned they didn't
email everyone yet (just some).  I know right now, I feel kind of bummed and I'm
sort of awaiting the "Thank you for your participation" email.  Anyway this is
the last week so I will assume the final emails will go out pretty soon (today
or tomorrow I would guess).

Man, I was all ready to go too...ah well...
