I didn't know that John Gilmore was prime on this
project. Can sure see why HE would be passionate about
any tool that allows us techi types to redefine its
use. NOW we are on the better path toward mass
production but job specific specialization too. Got to
love that! Any papers that Professor Ian Page has
produced and GOSPL software libraries might be
interesting to some of our group. This is a root
change in empowerment, I hope we don't overlook what
FPGA does for us. Think beyond USRP as radio and more
toward ?breadboard? is a good start.
