Hi Core

At the moment Linus, Paul, Rob, Pavel, Joachim and I are working on getting 
all the pieces of the Alpha operational.

The pieces, from a very high level, are

  * All the hardware on the Alpha board
  * Bitstream for the new FPGA
  * STM32 code, including DFU bootloader
  * AVR code for master key destruction
  * PKCS#11 interface to make the stuff above actually accessible

The next step would be to get it all together into something that is actually 
usable, e.g. to do DNSSEC signing.

When we have something usable, we also need to be able to tell people how to 
use it. We need end user documentation =).

I'm currently too deep into making the hardware work to make an effort at 
writing documentation.

I would like to ask if anyone else on the list feel they have a writing talent 
and time to put into this effort? Joachim, you don't seem shy of writing, and 
Heather you did a great job with the wiki, for example ;)

/Fredrik
