Development Roadmap
December 11, 2009: We've decided to launch an early beta of the site to keep up our own momentum, and allow others to use the site as it stands. There are a few known issues that require fixing, but nothing that should prevent usage of the website. There's also a lot remaining to add, so development continues at a rapid pace, on several different fronts.
We'll use our Twitter account to push notification of added features, and other announcements. If you would like to keep up with what we're doing, please become a follower.
Below, in no particular order, is a rough outline of features we plan on adding, and additional work to complete. If you have a thought of a feature you'd like to see, or anything you'd like to see differently, please send us an email.
