Hi Ben,

We have had users already bring up the point about needing a preview feature. We've added this to our feature list and hope to have some functionality in place within the next few months. We're currently working on features required to migrate PLoS Genetics, Pathogens and Computational Biology onto Topaz by the end of February, so this feature will be pushed out afterwards.

The main reason that the Topaz website has languished is that the team is working hard on enhancements to the OTM layer of Topaz and don't have the resources to dedicate to the website. Before they can push the Topaz code out as Open Source, they need to make the publishing application a bit more generic, simplify the code and simplify the configuration. This should be completed in the next few months.
