Speaking of logistics, I'll be at the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin next month and at Wikimania in June. If you live in a place where shipping is expensive (or impossible) I might be able to bring some items/orders (space permitting). Keep that in mind as you think about Floor's original offer as well :)
I do like the solution you're working on with Kacie so people can produce more things locally! Seems like a much more sustainable approach.
