I was under the impression that “end of the year” was referring to end of 2016 (when the comment was posted; ie, a design/mock-up would be done by then), hence my assumption that the project had begun.
If that wasn’t the case then I severely misinterpreted your statement.
Though, clarifying what I said (I feel as if what I said could be interpreted to be rude), I’m mostly worried that the page rewrite will result in features being cut out that were necessary or important to current pages (as has been a recent trend with page redesigns), and do ask you to please, somehow, keep us in the light in regards to this if you begin the project.
