[SailfishDevel] Jolla Harbour and Jolla Store

[Karl Granström]

Ahoy, 
thank you for all the interest in the Harbour. First of all a big apology for for the problems that we are having here at Harbour - we faced some unexpected issues due to a small storm that passed by and are working hard to resolve them.

We will keep you posted when you can dock again to our Harbour and start submitting your apps.

Thank you for your patience!
