What now?
Plugin is available for download, and if you have the licenses, you can jump right in and test it. The plugin is stable and tested, but it is still possible that there are some bugs left, and I would be grateful if you can report any problems you find. But, this is a brand new plugin, and it is advisable to spend few days testing it on staging or development server first.
I am updating plugin documentation and new videos will be uploaded in the next few days. If you need some specific help, not currently covered, please let me know or stop by the support forums.
