>1 bergs47: This was just done as we are in the process of rolling out a new version of awards.

It might take us until tomorrow to get it released, but we are trying to do it as quickly as we can.
We need to lock the CK data so that we can import it into the data for the new system.

>2 knerd.knitter: Thanks.. Will this fix issues such as Time Book of the year, which is in a total mess?

I'm here to lower expectations on when this debuts. It will debut TO STAFF soon, but we want to clean up some of the data before we open it to members.
Among other things, the new system has a concept of "stages," that will allow us to combine all the "Such and such Longlist," and "Such and such Shortlist" awards, while preserving the ability to see the stages separately. If we release it without doing some of that combination in advance, people will be confused and perhaps put-upon.
Anyway, I would not expect that to release until next Monday, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised.

Good point. Tuesday. But I'm seeing a lot we need to do, so no promises.

I've enabled editing of Award data again.
During testing we've decided to do a little more work on the new system. We still plan on releasing it next week but we didn't want to leave the awards off during that time.
