time can be bought so if an initiative makes money, it can pay for
itself. How much expertise do you need to organise printing T-shirts?
Several people have already done this through Cafepress anyway.
The process of deciding what to sell, what to be printed on it, to have

To be honest, I don't have any interest now in trying to get this going,
I wasted too much time on it in the past and I have other things that
