    10 on 9

    I'm late on this (been busy fixing bugs and the like), but if you're interested in hearing more about 10 and the team that built it, check out the Channel 9 video.

    Btw, I'm the quiet guy that doesn't really talk.  Everyone on this team talks a lot, so I just fill in the blanks if they forget anything.  ;)

    The video doesn't go into too much technical depth, but you'll learn about what we used to build it and some of the architecture behind it.  If you're interested in learning more details about how we accomplished something, leave a comment and I'll be happy to answer them.

    Erik,

    It's really awesome work. I love the design. One thing I'm trying to figure out for use in my own apps is how you dim everything when the user clicks the sign-in link. I'm thinking it's some type of overlay div with a partially transparent image of some type. Anyway, again, nice work.

    We are trying to figure out how you make the sign in form pop up when you click the sign in link. Great site...........

    That is definitely a cool effect - it's used a lot in the Control Panel of Community Server 2.0 too. :)
