The MEarth project: searching for transiting habitable super-Earths around nearby M-dwarfs
A description of the survey, plus some preliminary results. While no planets are reported (yet), a new M-dwarf+M-dwarf eclipsing binary has been discovered.

I remember reading about this at around the beginning of the year.
The authors of the paper write that they've only got a few of their telescopes up and running, and they'll have a few more in September(? -- It's been a while since I read it... ~3 hours). So, it isn't fully operational yet.
