The Zazzle (http://www.zazzle.com/) web site that Nick proposed is
perfect to do this with very little overhead for us.  We just need
someone to publish the designs and a wiki page to point people at them.

The downside is that their gadgets are somewhat expensive and even
more so when shipped overseas to Europe.  I'd say let's do this and
then find a better solution when someone steps up to do it.

Todd Kelsey (cc'd), did an amazing job with unofficial OLPC
merchandise last year.  Maybe he has ideas and suggestions?

We have already agreed some time ago that we will adopt the same
trademark policy of the Wikipedia:

It just needs to be documented somewhere in our MarketingTeam pages.
