+
+ficus's plan for Spring 2013 is:
+
+ - get vanilla Debian running on a new open hardware ARM platform
+ - improve torouter-live build process for generating images
+ - test debian's grsec patch package on new ARM hardware 
+ - finish a relatively stable, releasable CLI-oriented (arm, hand edited config files) torouter image for the new hardware
+ - improve torouterui such that it has minimal viable functionality for router use
+
