DESCRIPTION:The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a low-frequency phased-
 array radio telescope being constructed in Western Australia by an interna
 tional collaboration.  At a point in the project that could be called the 
 "end of the beginning"\, a 32 tile prototype system is operational at the 
 MRO site and the design of the 512T build-out is being finalised.  I will 
 discuss the development and performance of this system and some lessons le
 arned that will be relevant to other sparse-array projects.
