originally i thought i was on to a way to bring a sub $800 board to market. I thought i had found some decent parts that would fit the bill but afte crunching the numbers more and being inundated with everything from advice to warnings to flat out “you really don’t want to do that” by other people who have been in this business longer than I have and know what’s realy going on, I have decided not to try to build this board.
However… for this open source board cause I’m willing to donate free web hosting and pay for domain registration, and possibly some parts if I can figure out a way to not burn myself while doing it.
I’ve already registered a few domains for use by the community for various things in a defensive measure against malign squatters.
I own the esk8.build domain and i think if somebody wanted to take it over and build something there for this project, i’d be willing to hand over the sFTP creds to it.
I’m terrible at organizing and planning, however, so i can’t take a leadership role in this. It deserves better project management than i would be able to give. But i would be willing to host it, promote it, and do write ups on it on my blog occasionally. It needs to be independant of my brand so that it doesn’t look like i’m dictating what’s happening, which i will not be doing.
