-There will be at least one more prototype version to try out a different
-GPS receiver and improve various design details... most likely at least
-2 more prototype versions before we go to production.
+We're making several changes to the hardware to improve performance and
+reliability. As of early Jan 2013 we're waiting for the v0.2 raw boards
+to come back from fab.
No firm schedule for production and sale of MegaMetrum has been set yet,
