Member of the KA team here. We're in the final stages of getting this new exercise framework live. If you're interested in contributing towards the new framework or helping our beta testing efforts, please check out https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises/wiki/Getting-Involved (if you're interested in helping out our beta, look for the hipchat room on the wiki page).
The new framework looks great! It's amazing to see how much KA has accelerated since the funding and the progress that's being made. I'll take a look to see if I can help out
So I tried to download the source code for the entire project from https://khanacademy.kilnhg.com/Repo/Website/Group/stable But every time I did that I got a connection error after downloading about half of the chunks. Is it possible to source this repo in Github, Google code or somewhere else where this disconnect problem is not an issue?
I tried an exercise on http://khan-masterslave.appspot.com and got a question wrong because I wrote "pi/6" where it wanted "1/6 pi". Any plans to improve the parsing?
It would be great to get more community involvement to help with these new exercises, but be aware that over the next week our main focus will be on getting the new framework and old exercises ported to the new framework ready to ship.
Wow, this is really something. Now this explains a bit why John Resig moved to Khan Academy, which I couldn't comprehend before

Is this repo used by the website, or you merge things from khanacademy.org back to this? I'm having trouble finding a reference to the Scratchpad text tool in the github scratchpad.js.
This is a near-complete rewrite of all of the exercises live on the site currently. The scratchpad text tool has been removed because it doesn't provide much that isn't easily available via other means.
Yep. On the spreadsheet that repos mentions, there is a list of planned exercises.
As rubergly mentioned, this week we'll be focusing on fixing all the bugs and getting this deployed to real users but after that we'll definitely be open to new exercises and new contributors.
