4	Dear Visitors:	If you see me online editing this file, why not log in and open the inbuilt text chat window? I'm always happy to have a yak, and your ideas and feedback are valuable.
5	Version 0.2 (alpha) is now released publicly. Feel free to download and try it out. It lacks ship designs, which means you have to manually edit ship designs to get things working, but the idea is to test out how the research tree and components work.
