Greetings Tom!
Thanks very much for your e-mail. We actually have made a lot of progress in programming and modeling eclipsing binary systems over the past few months. We hope to raise some support funding so we can release a simulation (to test all the systems without worrying about false alarm planet announcements). I currently cannot put a date on that yet (but I hope soon!) That would be the alpha release, followed by a beta with our ground-based data (we have lots of light curves to search from three different data sets of tens of thousands of stars we've already observed), and then we hope to obtain data from various other photometric surveys that observe eclipsing binaries as a spin-off of their doing supernova searches, gravitational lens events, etc.
So much thanks again and hopefully we can get an update onto the web site soon. With very best regards, Laurance
I'm excited to run it as soon as it becomes available!
