I would say it's going to be more in the months category to get where you probably would want things, but hopefully not the 'many' months category
3.1 is a step in the right direction, but hopefully a point release or so after that will really get into the oooooh's and ahhhhh's territory for you, and that won't be until the earlier portion of next year.
Of course, that's all in addition to our great authentication integration and social widgets that we already have.. we're confident that whenever you decide to pull the trigger you'll be happy, but certainly don't want to see you buy with expectations that won't be lived up to (yet). As always, if you're on the fence, we have a 30-day money back guarantee. So no worries if you want to play around now, and decide it's not right for your site at this time.
Thanks again for the feedback, and we'd recommend following our twitter feed or blog for future updates!
