Are you thinking of a small IO expander module?Any plans to make a ShieldBase Mini similar to the Netduino Mini?

We put a 16-port IO expander on our wish list for the upcoming year's modules. We've been thinking along the lines of terminal connections rather than 0.1" headers though.Yes
Can you share more about the type of size and feature set you'd like to see. How small? 3V3/5V switching? Open drain capabilities? GPIO-only, or including other features like PWM and ADC as on the shield base?
There are a few community members working on modules and I think that I/O expander modules will be an important part of the GoBus ecosystem. Maybe this is a good place to have that conversation.

My initial thought was simply a ShieldBase that was small and compact, I know that it wouldn't be a ShieldBase then.
I could use an I/O expander module with as many GPIO's as possible (I could use +100 or 2x50 etc.) simple 3V3/5V switching. I'd prefer that over an "all-in-one" solution like the ShieldBase. What would matter to me was physical size and no. of GPIOS, so if additional features like PWM and ADC wouldn't take up significant space and cost, those features would be relevant as well.
I haven't really checked if any Gadgeteer modules might do the job, but after the Gadgeteer Adapter module revelation , I'll check them out.
