Erm... I've clearly stimulated debate. I think we all agree that gEDA is alot better than the free hobbleware. I understand that the proposal to integrate with catalogues was somewhat contraversial, let's leave it at that.
Government grants then. I noticed that 'seed funding' of up to 25kGBP will be available next month in the UK. link here: http://www.electronics-ktn.com/Portals/0/Members/Ashley.evans/TSB_FeasibilityStudiesForTechnologyInspiredInnovation_Web%20final.pdf . It has remits such as: "Developing production technologies that can create high value through novel processes, advanced product manufacture, resource efficiency or greater product customisation, or that create greater environmental sustainability through efficient disposal, recycling or re-manufacture" Obviously it would need to be fairly sensibly done, but it would be a few months of one engineer's time and probably only a week or twos work to get the funding.
