Will there be an announcement prior to opening of Web Store?

[Carl]

It would be good to get some kind of a notification of the opening
date at least a few days prior to the opening of the store. Can we
expect that to occur, or will it just suddenly be open? TIA.

Hi Carl,

While we have nothing new to announce right now, we will send a reminder prior to the launch so that developers can revisit the apps they've published to make edits & improvements before the store opens its doors for everyone.
