I had a quick look at the group build link (thanks). Not entirely sure what it is for though. People submit plans and work together on a project?
A group build project is one where somebody has done the design work and built a prototype, then the project information is posted so anybody else can build it. In some cases a special price may have been negotiated with suppliers. For example, the parts for the Art Array project retail for about $400, but we negotiated a wholesale price of about $285 with Parts Express.
That is a cool idea. Very generous and a great way to spread knowledge. The discount side of it is good news too. This section definitely needs to be promoted.
