John, I realize that the design process is a non-trivial one.  I wish
I had the skill set to do it myself, as I would be more then happy to!
 Dave indicated that his current board design was not really 'ready
for prime time' and so, while he would make it available, it would be
a difficult board to work with.  I imagine that with enough support, I
could build one with the limited features selected, but would Dave
have that time to lend any more then to redesign the board to one that
does not require support?  And if others built one from the current
board, would they need support time as well?

Don't get me wrong.  I know that this is a volunteer effort.  I,
personally, would be willing to buy a board for more then just the
cost to make it in order to benefit the designer of the board.  I do
not know how many others would, so I can not say if the designer would
ever make a profit over time having boards made and selling them. 
Hence I am willing to make more then one PCB just to get one if I can
use it.

Is this something that someone like John Blacet might consider? 
Adding the product to his excellent line of modules, and maybe selling
the bare board and pre-programmed MPU?

Would this community be okay with John (or anyone else) using the work
done here as the basis for a commercial product?

Should I just shut up and go back to lurking?
