Heh.

Raw parts costs are more than that, not even including assembly.

Keep in mind that many OGP developers won't be expected to buy their
own boards.  This project will only survive based on the generosity of
those who value it.  Plus, if we profit enough from retail, we should
eventually be able to start selling them at a loss to OGP developers.

OGP developers will number, optimistically, in the hundreds.  We need
to sell thousands of these boards.  We can swallow some loss for the
OGP.

Putting aside OGP developers, who will get boards one way or another,
what should we price it at for the sake of being able to fund future
development?
