## Future Plans ##
-As of November 2011, a first pass design is complete but no prototypes have
-been built yet.
+As of late December 2011, the first prototype v0.1 board has been loaded and
+is being debugged and tested. If the board "works for me", then I'm likely
+to make enough of these to sell to others who are interested.
