I see what you mean about web sites.  I just send them an email about  
that.

The mailing list is quite active.  They plan to have working VGA  
firmware in 1 week.  They have working prototype hardware (needs the  
VGA firmware to function as a primary video card).  They plan to  
start manufacturing of more cards after the VGA firmware is  
completed.  They have basic Xorg acceleration.  They have a model for  
the entire 3D engine. Actually implementing the model will follow the  
firmware.
