The first volume containing translations of chapters 1 to 6 has been completed and has just been released:

In the meantime, due to his many other work commitments Marcus Bingenheimer has requested Bhikkhu Anālayo to take over the role of chief editor for the remaining two volumes to be translated. The present plan is to complete volume 2 (chapters 7 to 12) and volume 3 (chapters 13 to 18) by the end of 2014.
In addition to the above project, Bhikkhu Anālayo’s collected papers with comparative studies of single Madhyama-āgama discourses has been published as:
