1. Create a github page where you include as much of the hardware info as you can
2. Include any custom kernel patches that you have for the hardware (I'm pretty sure this is legally required anyway because of GPL on the kernel, so this could double as fulfillment of publishing/distribution)
3. Let people go at it! Early on I expect a community leader (usually a top contributor) will emerge that you can work with to get it done. I suspect you wouldn't have to do a whole lot (beyond information sharing) to get stuff mainlined and even prebuilt distros assembled for the device!

4)its all laminated / optically bonded
5) we can improve on repairability, its fine, but nothing stand out. we have big plans in the future here though
6) we're aiming to build the business on customer trust so we better be good at software updates! android is hard though, so its definitely a learning curve and requires a lot of resources
7) we'll do better to earn your trust around using our accounts - lots of plans in the coming months and years to be the best privacy + security + sovereignty computers!
