I have mixed feelings about this. I would like to see the board available but I can also follow Neko's well reasoned doubts.

I guess we could pretty easily manage to get enough money for the reference board but what about going further.
I have my doubts that the community alone can finance a decent sized production run, so a bank or investors need to be brought in at some point anyway.

The goal is to get the Amiga community a G5 board at a good price (not nessecarily at cost?). I my opinion a good price is something that compares well to what Apple delivers, or a bit more because of the better upgradeability.

There's a lot of things to consider before we know IF it can be done, cost of components, manufacturing, G5 availability, demand for the board and things like that. Guess some can be figured out (maybe not exact) when we get the schematics and developer board.

Are there a mailinglist setup anywhere, that might be a better place to share ideas and concerns?
