I think this is the site which will be replacing both the pilot site and the old familysearch site - once it's ready.  Sometimes there are images on the new site that have been unavailable on the pilot site.  It's all just in beta at the moment though and so things can appear and disappear.

A new website appears to have been launched - seems to be the same records as on the pilot site but presented differently:
http://fsbeta.familysearch.org

Just had a look and the first query I entered returned my 3rd gt-grandfather as a 13 yr old girl in 1841 !!

Going back to the submissions on the IGI .. I had my family on a website - over 2000 entries. Some person who shall remain nameless took all my information and not only put it on THEIR website, but also submitted my ancestors to the IGI, obviously without the sources and proof that I had spent years and $$ researching.
Now when I go to the IGI looking for any possible new entries etc., I always get these damn submissions ... yes, I'm annoyed !!

cheers ... Paul

Thank you to everyone transcribing the Pilot records. 

I've found lots of entries to help me.

The pilot site is probably one of the best free genealogical websites now.
