The article mentions that this comes three months after a redesign. I love it that they are open sourcing the code, but at first I was wondering, why not do it before the redesign so that contributors could really dig into the project and be drawn into the project? Upon further reflection, though, I think the right way to view this is that they are open sourcing the site before the next redesign. I can't want to watch this unfold, and maybe I'll even chip in. It's great to know that I can!
