That's because there has not been one.

I mentioned to folks listening to Teamspeak on Friday, out of courtesy so 
that people could budget their money accordingly, that Hermes will only be 
available for order during a certain window.  Except for a few spares to 
cover defective boards, TAPR will be making exactly the number of boards 
ordered and no more.  TAPR also has no current plans to make a second run of 
boards.  This means that if you do not order a board through TAPR during the 
window you will have to obtain your Hermes from another source.

We will also be doing this build prepaid rather than postpaid.  Once the 
number of orders reaches an amount sufficient to support the manufacturing 
run, TAPR will charge your credit card.  Manufacturing will then commence 
and you will be shipped your board when they are complete.

The details of everything are still being worked out, so please be patient 
for information.  A posting will be made with the entire deal when TAPR is 
ready to start taking orders.  Again, I am merely providing this information 
as a courtesy to people so that you can allocate your ham radio 
$localized_currency accordingly.  Offer void where prohibited.  We reserve 
the right to change the deal at any time.  Your mileage may vary.

And before folks ask, for those masochists who derive perverse pleasure from 
soldering tiny components on PCBs, there should be some bare PCBs available 
on this run.
