I hope I didn't make you more paranoid with the 'ixnay' part, I just wanted to use the word.

One reason to open up a bit about it is the possibility you will find that it already been done, saving yourself a lot of work.

An example of what's possible through on-line open source collaboration is www.localmotors.com. They are mostly working with whole vehicles; their first success was the Rallyfighter, but they gave out $6000 in prize money for designing a door handle for the Edison 2 VLC. They have Seimens Solid Edge CAD software priced from Free 30-day trial to $300 for the top package.
