Complete rev. 1 VGA Shield testing and send rev. 2 off to LaenPCBTarget completion date - 2011-03-21- Completed 2011-03-20
Order packagingStatic-dissipative foamStatic-dissipative bags- Completed 2011-03-22
- Buy a commercial EAGLE license
Complete a shippable version of the driver library for the MultiSerial ShieldCode/documentation done as of 2011-03-24, just needs final testingMake sure interrupt support is in/workingTest all functions against actual hardware and make sure they behave as expected using latest Arduino IDETarget completion date - 2011-03-27- Completed

Ideas
To collect contact info for future marketing, could hook a keyboard up to the Arduino that has the VGA Shield demo on it- Design/build a POS system using the VGA Shield and MultiSerial Shield
If possible, payment via PayPal would be handy so it's not just cash
