Nice effort, Joseph, I wish your effort well. If you're looking for some advice, precedent or just inspiration, you would do well to look at -- and eventually talk to the people at -- FreeGeek in Portland Oregon <https://www.freegeek.org/>. They may not have been the first to have ever tried this concept, but they've executed it wonderfully and are worth a study on how they got it right.
