So like, in the interest of our whole ideology, is there anything folks can do, other than money, to help? I can solder.

I can solder.

Great - you can build all the phones then. I can program, so I think we're most of the way there. We need one more person to write the manual.

I can drive a manual, does that help?

I've done a lot of technical writing and knowledge articles in my career. I'm in!

You cheeky cunt, I love it. Strong responses too. I think we got ourselves a cottage industry.
