Project development, ideas, and suggestions / PCB Tools
Saturn PCB Design Inc has a free download (www.http://saturnpcb.com/pcb_toolkit.htm) of a very comprehensive toolkit.  If you are involved in PCB design I think it is a must have.  As the web site describes it:

Saturn PCB Design Toolkit Version 5.65 including the new IPC-2152 Update!
The Saturn PCB Toolkit is the best resource for PCB related calculations you can find.
It incorporates many features that PCB designers and engineers are in regular need of like current capacity of a PCB trace, via current, differential pairs and much more. Please download our PCB Toolkit today for free and enjoy!

Breakout boards / Ethernet Physical interface for STM32F4
The recent release of the STM32F4 discovery board either as a "free" sample or lost cost at distributors like Mouser($17) raises interesting possibilities if there was an complete Ethernet interface.
At less than $20 this would make a great base for a Web Server. What is needed is a cheap daughter or breakout board with the Ethernet physical interface. Possibilities are the likes of National’s DP83848C with is used on STM’s STM3240G-EVAL board or Marvell’s?? This would be a heck more capable than the processor planed for the Web platform V2 at potentially same or less cost
If someone with the experience to do the hardware, could help out here that would be fantastic!

Web platform / Airplay emulation Shairport
I have been considering a port of the Apple Airplay emulator done by James Laird.  One can read about this here:
http://www.hardmac.com/news/2011/04/14/ ... -shairport

The source code can be obtained from:
http://mafipulation.org/blagoblig/reversing

Before I undertake this effort I would like to hear comments from those familiar with the Web platform  as to if they see any obvious reason this would not work.   
I understand this is a non trivial adaptation
Thanks
