This is to do something, hopefully; together with (hopefully) other fellow hw and sw hackers. To make it so, I'd like the construction to be sufficiently simply so that a large enought share of hw hackers can make the thing themself. In technical terms, I'll restrict myself to double layer pcb's and non-BGA chips. That does not mean that the design or the specification has to be of low quality. Low price would be nice but is not a goal at this point.
