See this project in action at a recent House 2.0 party in Hilary’s Flickr set or on her blog. Pin It

We just shipped a big service pack, fixing a zillion tiny little bugs that nobody would ever come across (and introducing a couple of new tiny little bugs that nobody will ever come across) and it was time to start adding some gen-yoo-ine new features. By the time we were ready to start development, we had enough ideas for improvement to occupy 1700 programmers for a few decades.
