It might work, but coordinating that many people seems complicated.
The best option is for you to decide to get started. Make something

Yep someone would need to take the lead at least on a per product basis.
That person would probably never make the kind of wages that a product

I also have a surface-mount pick and place machine running, and
a thermocouple-controlled toaster oven for solder reflow. So, if
someone has some little board they need assembled, like the
pendant mentioned above, I could do that.

I wonder if it isn't time to rethink the legal entity.
It might work as a non-profit, something like a trade association. This
would eliminate many of the legal risks, because the legal entity would not
be directly producing anything but would rather be promoting the use of an

An idea popped into my head today. I was thinking that one way people
like me, that may not have the skills to contribute to the development
of EMC might be able to contribute in another way. What if we came up
