Coupled with the inability to now use ward tools, it is frustrating for those of us who have little access to the computer in the clerk's office.

Little access? What do you mean by this, our clerks computer sits idle most of the week.

I don't undestand why they can't throw us a bone here.

The church developers work on many projects for all areas of the church. The priorities are set by the Priesthood Department - not the general membership. How soon they get to this depends on how long higher priority projects will take, and if any other high priority projects appear in the meantime. In other words, a projected time-line would be pure speculation - with people getting upset when the time line is not met.

Carry on with the assumption that it will never happen and be pleasantly surprised when it is.

I am, however, frustrated by the complete lack of information that comes our way.

Totally here ya here!

There is nothing top secret about HT/VT. I don't undestand why they can't throw us a bone here. Coupled with the inability to now use ward tools, it is frustrating for those of us who have little access to the computer in the clerk's office.

This is where you might be a bit off-base. Typically, when people want HT/VT, they want something more than putting in the number. They also want to put in their 'report' on the family. Think of it... Sally's husband beats here and she needs help.... Bro. So and so is dresses badly and will never be a good EQP until he dresses better and matches his tie with his socks.. whatever the comment.

Once an institution that is subject to laws of a government, and multiple governments across the world starts to record what would be considered private data about individuals, they are open to great liability... things we don't always think about.

I believe John is correct in that when HT/VT is deployed on the web, it is unlikely to contain any functionality beyond what MLS currently has. There will be no ability for notes or comments. That's based on prior comments and private conversations I've had with church employees.
