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
testing. Builds and bug reporting tools are all available here:

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.
