Doesn't look it.  I don't even see Shane yet.

Why me?  You've got a list.  Go ahead and post it.  All you need is a
generic remote-capable CVS client and you can put up and/or edit all
the web pages you want.

> o Decide on connector

SODIMM seems to be the choice.

> o Decide on design tools to use

EAGLE is limited to 2-sided boards if you don't register (i.e. pay).
GEDA+PCB isn't limited, but doesn't include an autorouter :-( Eagle's
autorouter leaves much to be desired.

> o Decide on the primary circuit designer
> o Decide on other roles

Irrelevent.  It'll all be in CVS.  You want to participate, pick a
chunk and work on it.

> o Documentation/Website

We've got *one* at least.  We can postpone this issue for now.

> o Legalities/Licenseing/etc...

Sigh, yup.

> o Debug some boards

Wow, it's only one to-do item!  Gee, it must be easy then ;-)

> o Decide on the features to be included
> o Design the circuit

I think the only real key here is the power/ground pins on the
connectors.  The rest would just be ganged together and/or brought out
to test points.

* Buy one at Radio Shack :-)

I want to try making at least *one* with my woodworking tools though.
