For what it's worth I'll add my $0.02 to the discussion

two thumbs up regarding easier backups/restores! They would certainly help the clumsy among us

i'd really like to see a couple of things.

1) the ability to sort by criteria other than date and then subsort as well
ie sort first by geography and then by date .

2) a one button 'date site live' option

this option would over ride the date added and is verified fields.
this way links admins could easily work ahead.

ie i want go on vaction. I add and verify a pile of sites on January 1st but don't want them to be visible til January 15 and when they are visible it would appear to the surfer that the sites were indeed added on January 15.

Hope that's clear!

Any word on an approx release date?
