Please, don't wait! We really need help testing the Helix Player now,
and we're offering nightly builds to test against. It's not clear
we're going to have a completed product in April...our bottleneck is

Thanks for the invite, Rob, but my experiences getting registered with
your project, downloading, and trying to get Helix to play something
suggest that maybe it's a little early for you to be offering it for
tryouts.
