 ## Initial re-porting on 'prototype' directory
 
 * `chain-manager`: finished
 * `corfurl`: finished
-* `demo-day-hack`: not started
+* `demo-day-hack`: work started on the `slf/otp-refactoring-step1` branch
+  to copy code from an internal Basho "Demo Day" from the `prototype/demo-day-hack`

+  (and perhaps other branches with the `slf/otp-refactoring` prefix!) is
+  to create a code base of minimal, functional Machi server & client code.
 * `tango`: finished
