I understand that Nikolaus and the hardware guys are already doing 
their best to bring down the hardware prices. But how much purchasing 
power does the Goldelico have with the number of devices ordered? If you 
have a good idea how to bring prices down please post it to the list.

These are definitely very useful things. While the current paid 
developer program is not big and used only for the most urgently needed 
software the community relies heavily on volunteers. If you would like 
to contribute guides and tutorials you can post your ideas to the list 
and discuss them.
