    A Lego type approach would work for me.
    Say you break the machine down into components such as;

    Frame
    Gantry
    Linear motion (rails/bearings, rack & pinion, ball nuts, etc.)
    Control Electronics (psu, safety circuit, bob, etc.)
    Motion Electronics (stepper/servo motors & drivers)
    Z axis
    Spindle and VFD
    Software (Mach3 Linux, DSP, etc.)
    etc.

    Then for each component various designs could be put forward and anyone wishing to build a machine could pick'n'mix the components to 'Lego' a machine together.
