Hi Paul! We are working with two papers to do a live test before releasing this to all sites. We've already had to make several updates to our Facebook Instant Articles feed based on our first live tests. But, neither of the two papers have been approved. Once that happens we'll do an announcement. :)

Hi Elizabeth!


Our first beta tester was just approved via Facebook. It took several passes, each time we had to update and add code to pass Facebook's review process.


Now that it is complete, we are integrating the code next week. It will then go into our next open release and should be out before the end of the month. There may be additional problems or unknown delays of course, but the first version should be available this month.


Google AMP is also in our QA process and should be released soon as well, barring any unknown issues. =)


Thanks!


Christine
