[Sage] Sage 1.4 development status

[F.D.]

Thanks for the heads-up; dev status reports are always welcome (maybe 
these should be published on the Sage blog as well, to reach a broader 
audience?)!

Also, congrats to winning the "Most Innovative - Upgraded" award in the 
Extend Firefox Contest 
(http://developer.mozilla.org/contests/extendfirefox/)!
