A quick note to TPM readers: As you may have heard, we are launching an all-new version of our TPM community on October 8 -- an overhaul of our community tools that will vastly improve your reading, commenting, and blogging experience here.

But before we launch, we need some of our trusted readers, commenters and bloggers to test out the new system. You can be the first to experience it!

If you're interested, we'd need you to commit at least two hours this weekend to testing the tools and sending us your impressions, along with any bugs you run into. For more information, and to sign up, click here.
