Here is a breakdown of what we did:

Behind the scenes was a lot of test refactoring as well. The old tests relied on you running the tests from the parent directory of the tests and also had a fair amount of redundancy in a couple of classes. I popped in an abstract superclass on top of all the tests that set up a temporary directory for everything to go and extra methods to create gems and files quickly.

Our next weekend will be spent on 6 more cards, but I won't go into detail on those because, well, we want to do them. :)
