Only one person responded with interest in this idea off-list, so it won't be happening. I'll try again in 6 months.

That's a generous offer, and much appreciated. > ...line up some other locations if we get a wellspring for... Quite the opposite of a wellspring, but the list here is quite tiny. We really need to see a 10-fold increase in subscribers to hit a critical mass that would support these sorts of activities and sustain discussion on the list. I'm going to try a few things to publicize the list (suggestions welcome), including mentioning it on the Artisan Asylum list, where there is a well matched demographic. (The problem there is that this list has a bit too much topic overlap and doesn't offer a real compelling reason for that audience to join here.) If there are other venues where readers think this list would be of interest, please feel free to post mention of it. Link to the wiki page: http://blu.wikispaces.com/Hardware+Hacking where you can also find a description of the list. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
