Well, we've hit the ground running... a good amount of the core Backgammon library has been written, and we're about to begin on the implementation of the FIBS protocol. The plan as of now is to release a console client in the hopes that we might have an easier time finding bugs in the libraries instead of waiting until we've gotten a whole GUI written as well.
So, keep an eye out for our first release in the next couple of months!
