Edited doc directory to remove anything that pointed to Karl Auer, since he
is still getting lots of email. Also updated some of the PROJECTS file. Luke, you should do a quick paragraph or two there. (This used to be commit 5a50e3416940d93e3da981ac75c1feed89231847)

+we have the interfaces. Alan Cox (a.cox@li.org) has the information
+required to write the state machine if someone is going to do the work.
