Another project I have been keeping an eye on – here:

This is a project to make a robotic 3D plastic extrusion printer that is capable of making the parts to make another robot to make parts to make another robot…. in other words it is a self replicating robot 🙂
But thats not all – it can make lots of other items

I have been keeping an eye on this site for quite sometime now: Open Pandora

and now the reason I am keeping an eye on this site (quote from the site):

The Pandora is a unique machine. It was designed based on the input of thousands of forum users with one goal in mind – to make the ultimate open source handheld device.

Thats right, a project involving thousands of people all over the world working on a an actual product.
