I have been meaning to ask you about who fabricates your pcb's. I need to have a few RS-422 transmitter and receiver boards made. I would think these would be a good "open project". A wiki could be set up with the design, g-code, assembly procedure, etc. Anyone wishing to order a product could place an order on the wiki (opps, I think I mention eBay before) and then will be asked to make a donation when they receive their order. People wishing to contribute a resource, could go to the wiki and check the procedure list to see what procedures for what orders need to be done and who to coordinate with. If the the order doesn't get completed, no big deal. If it does, EMC wins. I would hope the frame work for the system could be fully automated so that users could drop in or out as they please. I have seen so many good ideas take off and then die because one or two people end up doing all the work and then burn out.
