Having only two already complicates a bit the process, but I guess is doable. Another thing to be considered are the policies of the own resellers. For instance, currently hackerthreads.com are selling GNOME merchandising at http://www.hackerthreads.com/items.asp?CartId={A645E360-D16F-441F-812C-C1AEVEREST55E12CF94}&Cc=GNOME&CatMoveby=0&Nbm=&Pbm=&FromNav= (if link appears broken you can access via the http://www.gnome.org homepage) Could we negotiate with them to have the catalog in our pages and the payment platform in theirs? Not easy. BTW, what control de we have over the products sold by hackerthreads.com? Can we tell them what to sell?

We aim to have an international network of official resellers but we are happy starting with one distribution point and grow as soon as new resellers appear in other countries. We are starting with Killermundi, a company based in Spain. We will try to offer decent shipping costs across Europe, but it will be probably too expensive to ship to other continents. What do you mean with "redundant work to be done in every GNOME organisation"? -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org
