I think the original idea was that you would sell some of these, which
off sets the costs and may even add proceeds to the project if you do
it right. I doubt the cost of the handful of gift jackets is going to
get you any equipment.
What's the trade-off/balance? You can't spend every resource on
technology nor on messaging. I think funding for infrastructure is a
seperate discussion than marketing, and neither shoould be at the
expense of the other.
except if there is a single pot of money - and especially when we're
still in the 'ramping up' portion of the community interaction part.
