Yeah, I think it's only viable if we have somebody there as part of the team willing to do such a thing, otherwise the benefits die off real fast as you suggest.

Let's just remember huge QA issues that Pine64 had with one of the PineBook Pro batches.  As a result of the pandemic, nobody from Pine64 was able to be present at the China factory and oversee the manufacturing and QA for that batch, which resulted in a really big mess.  Many people received their PineBook Pros that were faulty in all kinds of different ways.  AFAIK, those faults were resolved under the warranty, which was a good move from Pine64, but it must have caused them a big financial hit.

It looks really bad, very much like the definition of clogged-up bottleneck. Undecided  Let's hope that the rescue operation will go according to plan.

I'd suggest that we keep the discussion here, at least for now.  That way, if we get even one more community member onboard the project for the open storage device, it would be great.  Also, who knows, maybe we'll eventually get some feedback from Pine64, although we should move forward without any expectations.
