There's been a couple of threads about open and free platforms, but mostly based in the past...
Since the SNB community basically wraps around a few basic discussions, and platforms from the OEM/ODM space, and most of the issues - capabilities, security, sustainability over a product lifecycle, etc...
I'm proposing that we define the OpenSNB core platform - a basic hardware/software architecture design that can be expanded into platform specific roles. It's at a high-level, to avoid vendor specifics, but generally defines how a home GW/Router/AP/NAS could be designed with a target of recognizing old issues, and building a platform that is suited to today's needs, and tomorrow's requirements.
Tim has hosted this site, and we have many great engineers, developers, and enthusiasts, and I think we would be successful at a platform definition document.. if there is a way we can pay it back to SNB, this is one great way to do it...

my background - I've done this before, in the corp space, with customer reqs captured into a design document, and had a strong hand in delivering products meeting those requirements.
