He just recently released a <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/zemote/2228541869/in/photostream/">teaser screenshot</a> of the UI and it looks like it's coming along really nicely. I know Jeff's been working for some time to simplify education-related communication, a field that could certainly use some fresh ideas. It looks like they're getting close to an alpha release, so it should be fun to keep an eye on.</p>
