Thanks Shawn,

I don't know how viable it is. It's just up to everybody else on the list.
If we can put together a "GNU Programmer" if you like.

Another way would be to approach an existing manufacturer and ask if I could
license an existing design for manufacture. However, I can not see them
being too keen, as our (hopefully) cheaper kits would erode into their
rgular sales. Also any royalty or upfront fee would drive up the final
price.

Surely someone on the list has or can come up with an efficient (most chips
per dollar) design that could use existing software such as MPLAB that they
would be willing to contribute to such a project.

Hell, we don't need to support it! The list is doing a fine job of
supporting a heap of programmers already!

Regards,

Sean
