I think it's a great idea. Personally, building the modules is a distant
second to using them. I'd happily buy all my boards pre-stuffed. If I
could afford it I'd buy them already assembled, but I can't so I build
every one. The point (for me anyway) is to make music, not inhale a lot of
solder. I get my soldering kicks with my own personal projects.
