I think calling it "product supporters" is very helpful. It indicates
to me that you only expect a relatively small group of people to have
this role.

This is a good idea. Instead of focusing on getting the last 2% of

There will be time later for the finishing touches. Perhaps after

Ahh, this is a good point. Some of you have been itching for a
bite-sized project. This is a good one. Simply grab the latest CMF
