Hi mailing list,

I've been mulling around the best practices for sharing in the OSHW
community. If it makes sense, I think it would be good to add this to
the OSHWA website someday.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XbzNvMgqbg7EyDy2UBWKvlV1WmWHWKOdjdkzAIAHTWM/edit

Please log in if you've got a google account so we can track changes.
My goal is to point out the major groups: real-world photos,
enclosure, PCB, code, documentation. I know there are others but I'm
having brainstorm block at the moment.

Please remember OSHW includes more than electronics. My dream is to
have a bicycle manufacturer in the group some day. How would they
share?

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
-Nathan

Personally, I use bom-ex to embed the BoM into the Eagle schematic
file. I like it better than using a spreadsheet because that
particular package makes it trivial to generate uploadable orders for
Mouser and Digikey. This seems like the right approach in general,
because it makes the workflow more direct.

I'm curious why you didn't go with Octopart integration? Then presumably you'd be supplier-neutral.
