er, replying to myself, while I only had a few minutes - had a brief
look at the wiki again
I've Changed the link "Feature List" on the front page to "OGA1 feature
list" and added a minor introduction to the Feature List page. I mention
this to the list for review, mainly because it is a change to the 'main'
wiki page.
I can only find a target price for the OGA board of somewhere between
$100 and $200 - I'll add a note about that later.
Look at the bottom of this page for the naming convention:
http://wiki.duskglow.com/tiki-index.php?page=OpenGraphics+videocard+naming
OGD1's list price is at least $1000. OGC1's intended list price is as
far under $100 as we can get it, but that's too far in the future to
predict easily.
Lets see what could be placed on that page. I've quickly grabbed scraps
from the newsgoups that google located.. (and a few are admittedly
guesswork):
===
OGD is a PCI based FPGA development board currently in development by
the Open Graphics Project.With onboard memory, high bandwidth and an
ECP2 Lattice semiconductor FPGA, the GPL based design is capable of
significant computing applications. This board is expected to be of
interest to Engineers, Scientists, Universities, Developers(?ugh..cant
think what else to call them) and students and is used by the Open
Graphics Project for developing the OGA series Graphics cards. Those who
significantly assist with the development of the Open Graphics Project
at this stage are expected to be offered a subsidized board for
$600-700, to encourage and support their development work. General
Price and University Discounts have yet to be announced.
Currently this board is under development. Questions should be directed
to the Open Graphics Mailing list.
With OGD1 The Open Graphics Project is progressing towards it's goal of
developing graphics cards with fully published specs and open source
drivers suitable for desktop computing and embedded systems. For
alternative license options contact Traversal Technology.

If you didn't write this, be sure to attribute.
Maybe link to the BOM, start documenting the pin out for ecp2, and then
work on the other significant components and eventually adding links to
their respective pdf files.
Yeah, those would be good.
