Hey guys,

So unfortunately I was unable to complete the migration Friday as I had
hoped. I was testing the demo apps after combining all the master branches,
but ran into this error:

Error: fh-wfm-mediator/lib/array-store is now located at the
> fh-wfm-simple-store module, please install it instead.

I thought it may be an issue with my migration script, but turns out this
occurs with a normal Raincatcher dev environment set up with
raincatcher-cli (thanks for the help Summers). The error is
self-explanatory, but means that master is currently broken. Is anyone
aware that it isn't working? I wanted to hold off and get this remedied (or
at least confirmed that it's expected) before starting the new monorepo.

I'm going to test the combined "development" in the morning; does anyone
know if there will be surprises there? In other words, if I checked out
"development" on all the individual repos, should the demo apps work
properly?
