Things To Be Done
Timetable
Dates in the table below imply both finishing the design and testing and also lodging that design in the appropriate place in the Subversion repository and fully documenting it on this wiki. After the freeze date bug fixes and corrections should be the only alterations that happen to either the repository or the wiki entry.

Electronics
Finalized board designs.
Are all the electronic circuits complete, as in there dont need to be any changes to the components? More directly, with a new board layout, is it suitable for a v1.0 production?
Production board layout.

Prototype boards made.
Just so we know we have things setup right before we go and spend a bunch of money. I'll be ordering some of these, if anyone wants in on prototype boards, check the forums.

-- Bulk board orders made
Also a big thread in the forums. We found some good suppliers and will be able to get a good deal. Its looking like about $40-50 for all the electronics (sans motors) you'll need.
Software Documentation
Everything is possible and doable, it just needs to be tested and improved. Linux right now is the best, but Windows and Mac OSX both need more work.
