contributors needing to contact Neo900UG to just SEE if it's their thing (incl multiple sessions of formalities and waiting for joerg and atk)
contributors needing to sign an NDA
and messing with signatures while they are doing so (took me several hours to figure out)
Opaqueness driving out some potential backers
Issues created:
possible chinese copycats making cheap neo900 clones earlier than neo900
note that they still can do it anyway when neo900 is out so we're talking about a limited time period
which gets shorter with more contributors and greater devspeed so it sort of balances itself out
-> neo900 never reaching breakeven point in its sales because of cheap competition arising before actual release (very arguable)
