I think it's important to distinguish that Google is not putting the effort that they could into this project, and that the quality of the project is not what they want you to expect out of an official Google product. ie they want to give their engineers the ability to do neat projects—projects that could potentially make money—but they don't want to back each one fully, and they don't want to have their brand tarnished if the project fails.

Yes. We* are doing this full time during regular work hours. But this is not, yet, a product that deserves to be tied to the Google brand. It is just some code and some design documents, and hopes and dreams :) It could fail. And even if it succeeds, it isn't ever going to be a "product", but a Web Platform feature. *Note: I am the person leading this project.
