The thing that is most badly needed is a pci(e) card for experimenters

I definitely registered to this mailing-list because I'm interested in an
open FPGA development platform. These are usually prohibitively expensive,
drivers are closed, or must be written from scratch. An OGP FPGA
board could be a common platform for open-source hardware development --
in a world which currently largely closed.
I think that this alone would sell many cards (but I'm not into
marketing) in addition to the purely graphical crowd. Just leave the
option of GPIO and/or daughterboards.
Is there any free PCI(e) IP cores around? Is the OGP one free?
Regardless if there is or not, i'll eventually get one going and
put it on a card for prototyping.
