I received an email on May 31st at 16:47 Toronto time. I signed up for the mailing list at the end of April.
There is a forum, but it's really only for the original (Kickstarter) customers. I was told that the forum for the "new" customers should be back in a few weeks.

Check out the Bromptons as they are the most compact bike. I wasn't convinced, and that's probably partly due to the excellent transmission of the X11.
There is also the Tern BYB. It has a better fold than the Verge and is designed for commuting. However, it has two hinges and it takes some getting used to. It's a better commuter bike than the Verge. They've just released the P10, which is between the P8 and S11, but strangely they've removed the fenders and transit rack (they're standard on the P8 and S11).
