Comments and disclaimers

  • The first two weeks are way more filled out than the last four, since the specific details of much that comes later depends on what happens this week and next (list of materials dependent on exact schematics + availability, task delegation dependent on who wants to do what, etc.), but that will naturally change as the project progresses.
  • We're required to contribute to our profile page within the element14 community; I'll create a [Noisebridge]BioBoard account and share credentials, so we can all upload material. And don't worry, I'll still handle all the mandatory stuff - just want to make it open for all to add content.
  • We will receive a total of $900 for the project via bank or PayPal transfer - still looking for an account(ant).
