I'm looking for a cofounder for YCombinator Winter 2010. If you are interested email: yc.w10.founder@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter: @YCW10
Joolme: This is an example of decentalized production. People would design things at the home or in a retail location and it would be produced on site or delivered to the home. This would allow for higher quality manufacturing, a broader variety of materials, and retail quality products.
