(Didn&#8217;t want you to think it was a &#8220;one-and-out&#8221; kind of endeavor.)  Besides addressing key requests from users of v1.0, we&#8217;re focusing heavily on plumbing like object containers, auto-layout, and localizability.  That&#8217;ll let us eat our own proverbial dog food, using Configurator to create Photoshop enhancements that ship in the box.  (I expect our ideas here to generate much discussion and maybe even some controversy, but no one ever said that progress was easy.  I&#8217;ll be asking for your input soon.)<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Configurator today, <a href=\"mailto:jnack@adobe.com\">I&#8217;d love to hear from you<\/a> &amp; see examples of your work.
