WHO IS GOING TO DO IT? I don't want Theo or any of the Devs wasting their time doing crap like this that might just turn out to be a wast of time. They should be coding. People are always asking "What can I do to help the Project"? What people can do is to DO something and not talk about it. So, make a batch of stickers yourself and sell them on ebay. Then you can see for yourself just how Big A Seller they can be. I'm going to bet that it will turn out to take a lot more time and effort than you think and that it will turn very little if any profit. But hey, don't let me stop you. Good luck.
