It's great that you are stocking the Arduino and Wiring boards.
One thing I'd really like to suggest that would help open up the Arduino platform further would be if you could produce some of the shield designs that are being created to go along with the basic Arduino board.
I'm sure the Sparkfun folks have seen them but for others these are at...
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoShields
There is a copy-left design for a very nice motor control board and I would particularly like to see Sparkfun make and stock these prototyping Shield layouts...

... one is for a breadboard and the other gives perf board space.
These prototyping shields appear to be Creative Commons license and are designed by Tom Igoe ("tigoe") who I believe is active in the Arduino/Wiring area and affiliated with NYU.
Tom and others are publishing the Eagle PCB design files but it would be great if Sparkfun could get these produced. They could be offered as bare PCBs, kits of parts or fully assembled -- whatever makes sense to you.
A $30 Arduino with ability to build and keep multiple projects on Perf Board Shields would be a great hobbyist platform
There are some other nice Shield designs described on the site that might make great follow ups over time.
