This *MIGHT* be a great idea, buuuuuuuuut...
WHO IS GOING TO DO IT?
I don't want Theo or any of the Devs wasting their time doing crap like
this
that might just turn out to be a wast of time. They should be coding.
People are always asking "What can I do to help the Project"?
What people can do is to DO something and not talk about it.
So, make a batch of stickers yourself and sell them on ebay.
Then you can see for yourself just how Big A Seller they can be.
I'm going to bet that it will turn out to take a lot more time and
effort than you think and that it will turn very little if any profit.
But hey, don't let me stop you.
Good luck.
