We're merging old Newsgrape with the new "wundervoll" Newsgrape.

Before unveiling this incredible site on Saturday — 5 days from now — there are several actions that have to be initiated, to ensure a smooth and swift transition.

First of all, we are going to shut down all of the traditional features on NEWSGRAPE.com. For 5 days the login and registration won't be available. Of course all the content will still be there, we are just transferring everything to the new version and integrating it into a cool, new design.

And Keine Angst — we are not locking you out completely though. Everyone who feels like taking a pre-launch glimpse of the new site is happily invited to apply for a spot as bug hunter, and use this week to help us complete the last steps of troubleshooting. You will be able to take a limited look at the new platform and try out certain features, informing us about bugs or other problems that might come up. You can apply for this via zukunft@newsgrape.com .
