> 1 A reference design for a modest desktop PC.  By reference design I'm

> components easily available.

> 2 Build one - so the lug could loan it out to people who express an
> interest.
>
> 3 Publish a document "The Bradford Lug standard PC MkI"
>
> 4 Perhaps offer such units for sale,
>  - profits to go to the lug and pay for the tea and biscuits.

> Is such a project feasible, and of interest? Or not? Any opinions?
