[sudo-discuss] Can you provide a little feedback on my hardware project on Kickstarter?

[Autonomous]

Oh, sorry it is not a Raspberry PI project. It will use an A20 based clone
of the Raspberry PI model B+.

I am putting the finishing touches on a separate Indiegogo project called
the "Shoofly PI" and will be launching soon. It is an open source hardware
design with the same layout as the Model B+. People can build their own
Shoofly PI for maybe $20-30 cost per unit to produce. Attached is a
high-level design layout:
