MakeHuman : New expression system – development and testing
Head over to the MakeHuman website, in case you would like to test out the new macro-expressions they are developing and testing right now for the next MakeHuman release. In addition they also updated their exporter so it can generate a MHX Rigify checked character which works seamlessly together with Nathan Vegdahl’s Rigify Add-On.

Kernon Dillon has put together a nice overview of the two scripts at BlenderNewbies, with videos and links to forum posts about the scripts.
