* IE 6 CSS support for tags
* Found a little hole in the HTML5 spec or W3C's validator where hidden inputs aren't labelable. Talked to the validator authors and ended up opening a spec bug: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10146
* Explored memcaching for tags. django-cache-machine will need significant work on many-to-many and generic foreign key invalidation to make this feasible.
* Implemented creation of new tags.
* Improved visual feedback when applying tags: happens faster and folds case client-side.
* Turned up a jQuery bug where autocomplete treats vocabulary entries as HTML for menu-drawing but text in the input box. Bad for XSS. Reported, and it's fixed: http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/5275.
* Started on question-editing.
* My favorite summit moment had to be jumping in an alpine lake on a whim. Last music was Right Now. Yay, DRM-free Amazon tracks.
