Detail, details... :-)
I could envision that the product would be created as a kit. Materials could be provided by the person requesting the product, the person making the part (preferably from their scrap bin) or donated from a third party. The parts would be shipped from each part builder at the donor's expense? Money would need to be collected by a treasurer, EMC's or other, and maybe distributed by the board? Would money actually help promote EMC? Maybe barter would be better. A developer needs something. Puts in a request for it on the wiki. Some one needing let's say,a control panel engraved agrees to send the something if some else agrees to engrave the panel. Maybe a want/got ad list would be good enough. I guess, to really address the question, you have to define the question. Does EMC need to be better? If so in what way? What are the possible solutions.
