Ok. What does this mean, and how do I do it? :)

On irc about a month ago, Seth "peed" (his word) on 0.1, and
suggested a bunch of stuff. 0.2 basically incorporates his
suggestions.

I'll put some screenshots together and send a link to the
usability list anyway.

Definitely, but I don't know what should be done with this.
Suggestions on how to proceed?

Well, it's only about 2 months old and hasn't been stress
tested or code reviewed or anything, so I think it still
deserves a humble version number. But maybe the next version
after 0.2 can be 1.0.
