Well, after sifting through feedback from field testers and a lot of 
difficult compromise, I have the Dragon Rider ready for sale.  You can 
read about it here:

In the end, I had to split the functions people wanted into "add-on" 
kits so that the "buy-in" price met my goal of $25.  Also, nobody 
reported using High Voltage Programming, so the parts for that don't 
come in the basic kit.  As a result, the PCB and basic kit are $23.95.

At the last minute, I decided that perhaps not everyone wants, or even 
groks, the full complexity of the Dragon, so I added a "Quick Start" 
kit to allow beginners to get their Dragon up and running quickly at 
minimal cost.  (If you order this, there may be a bit of a delay as 
there's some kind of holdup where I ordered the microcontrollers.)

Thanks for the feedback and thanks again to the field testers.
