I like this discussion. Perhaps we could talk to the folks at http://www.oshwbank.org/ about helping sponsor the project (more details: http://antipastohw.blogspot.com/2009/03/introducing-open-source-hardware.html ) Another idea would be to do a Kickstarter campaign to raise some initial funds. A platform like this for a hobby-accessible price would be fabulous for education. -William
