Hey folks, there's nothing to see here right now. We spent three weeks experimenting with some new tech to see what we could build, and ended up with something that looks a bit like Rails, but entirely client-side and written in CoffeeScript.
The project driving the framework—an HTML5 mobile UI for Basecamp—has been on hold for about a month now, and we're still a ways off from having anything to show. It just isn't a priority for us right now. When (or if) we do have something we'll be sure to post about it on our blog.
Why not put it up on Github so we can help you finish it?
I'm currently a full time jQTouch developer, but I would much prefer a working environment like the one you're describing. I would certainly be willing to help develop it.
A couple of other smaller components are ripe for release, too. But the framework itself needs more work before it can be made public, and that work is directed by the needs of the application.
"It just isn't a priority for us right now"
I think the number of upvotes your getting demonstrates a sincere interest in such a framework. Really look forward to seeing more from this project.
Oh man, that would be great! All Basecamp iPhone apps are terrible... If you don't mind me asking, is the "hold" temporary, so will the project be resumed at some point?

We have open-sourced one component, the Eco template language: https://github.com/sstephenson/eco
