PeterJohnson we're shooting for December for our first pilots, the plan is to pilot 300-500 accounts, there isn't a plan to pilot in any specific area.
The first stage will test sign up and social features such as accounts, groups (markets), connections and communication .
once we're happy with stage 1 we'll start to implement stellar features, which I expect will be in January or February maybe sooner.
As it turns out, there is a lot of workflow needed for creating stellar accounts due to the minimum balance requirements.
We don't want to end up in a situation where we're funding accounts that don't get used so we're putting those on hold so they're not a distraction.
most of the API is done, you can create an account at https://anara.farm but it needs lots of workflow and UX work, the plan is to role out in stages.
my hope is that the tool is running and refined by March/April 2021 so we can switch focus to scaling and growing.
