It's a natural name for a site with tabs for:

services -- Negotiate to develop an add-on to any one of the whole list
	of geda software.  Website message form to fill for a call back.
services -- List fixed price bids for new developments developers want to do,
	with an e-commerce website form to pay for it with credit card,
	and a message form to get a telephone call back from a developer.
services -- Create windows builds.  Perhaps by an ebay style "auction"
	with an incremental price that gets it to you 1 week in advance of free
	publishing it after twenty customers ante up, and with a "buy it now"
	price for the ones who think it will solve a problem for them.  If the
	incremental price was $5, the buy it now would be $200, or what's
	needed to get to a total of $200.
services -- Use gEDA tools to do work for hire.  A links page.  With
	testimonials, head shots, BBB link, etc.

support services -- Negotiate for training to use gEDA tools.  List of available
	trainers.  Sell compilations, videos, printed documentatation.

support services -- providing computer boxes with linux distros and geda
	installed and set up for the customer's domain and networking details
support services -- offering access through the web to run iverilog on an
	Opteron machine or farm of them.


This could start out as just pages of links to others's web sites,
an evolve to have some kind of rating system, editorializing by Al, the site 
operator, even committees.  We're an independent bunch -- committees might never 
happen....

It would be best done with a "content managed" site that has logins for content 
changes by the individual providers, so Al can code full time :-)

I'm curious to know what sourceforge told you all about some "tip money"
$20 I donated to the pcb project.  Did it go to an account Dan, DJ or Harry can 
draw from?  Did it just fund the operation of sourceforge?
