New ScotlandsPeople site to be launched early September?

I'm hearing that a new version of the ScotlandsPeople website is to be launched week beginning September 2nd. I don't have a lot on this, nothing has been officially announced; someone I met in Aberdeen a few weeks ago had been asked to test it and was lesss than impressed, and a friend who wished to arrange a group booking for that week has been asked to push it back a week, in order to iron out any "issues". 

Nothing formal has been announced by ScotlandsPeople, but if you are planning to make a visit that week, it might be worth double checking the situation first with them to make sure you will be able to carry out your research, at any of the centres offering access in Scotland.
