 # [White-Rabbit](White-Rabbit) -\> Status
 
+The White Rabbit project was started in 2008 by Javier Serrano and his
+colleagues. From the start it has been a collaborative effort where
+everyone works together to make a working solution.
+
+By summer 2012 we have built 18-port switches and use the SPEC hardware
+as end nodes. The switches are available from industry with a delivery
+time of three to six months, while the SPEC boards are usually available
+from stock.
+
+For small systems where a single end node is sufficient, software has
+been written to run the White Rabbit protocol between two SPEC boards
+and associated digital I/O FMC mezzanines.
