Today we're announcing "MakeTherapist", a new variation of MakeHuman, in collaboration with the local psychology department at Mid Sweden University. As is well known, there is a shortage of therapists, and as a part of a PhD thesis we have started to look at options to get around this while still providing the "here and now" feeling of attending a therapy session.
Our work on porting the MakeHuman source code to Python 3 is progressing nicely, but we still have a long way to go before all the known bugs and hidden bugs are all cleaned up.
Rob Baer has started working on making the MakeHuman source code python 3.x compatible. Until now, MakeHuman has only been able to run under python 2.7.
With 1.1.0 successfully through the door, we now have some breathing space to focus on larger projects such as this. It is bound to have lots of unforeseen consequences, which made us hesitate to start it before we had a stable foundation to work from.
As a background to why it's occasionally a bit slow to download binaries: In the first few days after the release, the win32 package has been downloaded 4500 times. Add the OSX package and we're a bit past 5000. Since the package is over 300 mb, this causes quite a load on the hoster.

Firstly, I'm honored to be making this post and I hope that this information blesses you guys and helps you get similar results and hopefully even better :D!
Joel asked me to make this post and to cover the technological aspect as well as the procedures for making something like this video.
