Hi,

I can clarify a few things about Project San Dimas.

1. This is not a project that has anything to do with the eBay website - there are multiple projects underway that we hope will improve the website usability, including the new site header that rolled out a few weeks ago (in the US). It does of course provide a different user interface from the website, on purpose. It is all about having more options than just the site.

2. It is a desktop application, and it will run on the Mac too, not just Windows. I'm both a Mac and Windows user myself, and we want to support as many users as possible with this project.

3. We just last week start beta signups for the projects: you can sign up today (its quite painless, promise) at www.projectsandimas.com

4. We plan to have international support including the UK site soon after the launch (English speaking sites are easier to support for obvious reasons). For now we just have one beta program for all sites -- so even if you use eBay UK or another eBay site you should sign up for the current beta program.

I am confused? This article refers to eBay chaning their interface - they are not!

Project San Dimas is a Windows based project which runs using the new Adobe Appollo runtime, it will basically allow you to run eBay in an offline manor from your windows desktop - it will not be replacing eBay, neither will it be replacing eBay's current design/interface.
