Hi, everyone - I am this || close to declaring my projects "open source" because of a mixture of frustrations and new personal opportunities.

The situation with the hired help isn't working out, and though I'm told that some boards are done, I'm assuming that nothing much has happened. I take full blame for hoping that this might help out.

As it stands, when I get my stuff back, I should be able to piece together 'kits' that would require the end user to put together. I'd obviously charge a lot less, just so these things get out of my hands and into the hands of people that need 'em.

What do you all think about this? I think the community would be best served if I just give up all my little 'secrets', and give you just about all the insight you'd need. At the very least, I can identify materials and assist with calculations. There would be two guides - one outlining the design of the dome lamp (and hatch/trunk lamp variant) and another for the license lamps. I'll also share my experiences with any LED suppliers I've used.

I really, really hate letting people down, and I'm really glad that everyone has been very understanding. That's why I threw in a few months of sponsorship despite the fact I'm not even doing any business.
