We're all very eager to participate in this wonderful project. Can't see how the project admins don't perceive this.
The PCB's are produced in small production runs as time and money permits. Remember, this is a hobby, not a full time job. All of the developers have full time jobs, families, etc. The kits are put together in their spare time as orders are paid for and processed, not before. In addition, as the boards are constantly being revised/improved as time goes on, there could be issues in production runs that require modifications to correct the issues that arise. This takes time.
