[wplug-plan] tshirts again.

I've done a bit of pricing and market research regarding tshirts.
>From those who I interviewed, $10 is the most one will pay for a shirt.
And at $10, they would on average buy 1.5 shirts each.
I found a place online that gave quotes based on the exact layout and
number of colors, etc.
I took the logo that is currently on the site and trimmed it down to 3
colors. I should probably trim it down to just black and yellow. I think I
had left white in there the first time.
With that logo and the url under it, on the middle priced shirt, I think
the cost was going to be $6-9/shirt depending on the initial quantity.
Ideally if we ordered around 100 shirts, the cost would be in the $6
range.
The two biggest problems are collecting money in general, and getting
enough 'seed money' to make the initial order.
If someone else wants to come up with a better price quote, that's fine
with me, but I've see a lack of people who jumped up to volunteer anytime
this has been mentioned before.
I would like to use the profits from the tshirts to buy a beefier
replacement for the lug webserver now that we're going to be doing more
with it. (For perspective, the current cpu is a AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
350Mhz and the system has ~500M of borrowed memory.)
