In truth, I was going to wait until the release of OGD1 and for the
attention to reach a certain level before suggesting this, but I was
going to suggest it with gusto.  In summary, we need to expand the
community, develop more IP cores that we can license, and do things
that will generate revenue that we can use to eventually start on
OGA1.
