My question would be if they are going to take the time to write a good reference for the hardware so people can use it to develop new projects or will they just dump their software and call it good? They might be able to get me interested if they put in that time but at $1400 I am not sure it offers me anything over something like Bela [0] but I am the sort that enjoys working on the hardware side more than the software side.
If you read their announcement it looks like they have a solid plan to foster a community. They’ve even started a patreon with all proceeds going to contributors to the project
I did read it and it leaves the question of hardware somewhat up in the air, they seem to be pushing for people forking and modifying their software more than people building new projects from their hardware. They leave open the chance of there being black boxes in there which we don't get full information on and limits use as a platform. They may very well release everything but I am not going to rush out and buy one under the assumption that they are, I will likely consider a purchase after I see what comes.
