This Project is continuing to inch forward, I'd like it to go faster, but progress is progress.
Since the beginning of the funding drive, a number of related websites have been setup and many influential people in the maker movement have shown support, contacted me, tweeted my message or otherwise contributed in some way.
To them: my heartfelt thanks!
This is intended to be a community project, so it has never been my intention to go-it-alone, I do not possess the full range of skills to do every part of needed, and fortunately, thats not necessary, since many bright people have seen merit in the concept and are helping it advance toward its preliminary goals.

Special Notes:
Adrian Bowyers Role is indirect- his project (RepRap) inspired this one Zach's electronics serve a similar role.
Suresh Fernando (OpenKollab), Samuel Rose (Forward Foundation), Michael Koch (Open-Pario) and Michel Bauwens (P2P Foundation) have all worked extensively to accommodate, assist and promote the project (as have many others)
Sam Putman (MakerBeam) is directly responsible for steering me to modular coordination and the 300mm Cartesian grid standard.
Gatonero (Christoph Schwaeppe) has tirelessly promoted the project in Germany
Harkopen has helped with their project site
Kari Justice has contibuted great patience in the time taken from work to pursue this project as well as significant financial support
Edward Miller, onetruecathal have been very supportive
Dave5's (Dave Ten Have) (Ponoko) support is much appreciated
Joris Peels' (ShapeWays) Support is much appreciated
Andrew Plumb's (Clothbot) Support is much appreciated
To the many I have overlooked or failed to mention - apologies in advance - email me the omission - its forgetfulness, not malice, and I'll straighten it out!
