this is why i decided to start an open source hardware project on devtome.... hopefully my writing skills are adequate, but i see an opportunity to not only make some money by writing, but help somebody else make a living from an idea that i think has possibilities..... i'm still in the planning stages for the articles, but after i finish the groundwork, and start the actual technical discussion and adding detail, somebody with a similar bent (and adequate funding) might be able to turn the plan into reality. i have a few places i can post on audio technology forums that might grab some interest. this isn't charity, but a potential business.... but i'm not very good at business plans..... i'm an electrical engineer, and somehow the whole "social engineering" side of building a business is totally foreign to me.... i'm totally at home with "current mirrors, oscillators, power supplies" and the like, but marketing?.... not a clue.....
Yes I read the outline (wrong categories apparently 
) - good stuff, remember because I had to look up what easter eggs had to do with amplifiers...As I've said it not's that coding (or building amps) is better/worse than writing, and this sums it up nicely. All are necessary steps in shared knowledge and improvement, and that's what I think devcoin should represent in talk and walk. (edit)
