Open Hardware Toolchain Survey
Matt Maier
Greetings,
Your group's description indicates that open hardware is welcome along with software, which is great because I'm more of a hardware guy. I was actually excited to find this group because I'm an AF officer trying to help open source development in my copious spare time. It seems like this is the perfect group to make this request of since I don't have to explain why documentation is so important :-) but, basically I'm trying to pull together as many perspectives as I can on the question of how to document open hardware so that it does as much for everyone as open software has.
The Open Hardware Toolchain Survey is an attempt to uncover a basic list of user/developer requirements that can be contributed to the documentation discussion and, ultimately, lead to a new generation of collaboration tools.
I would like to personally ask you to take 10-15 minutes to add your perspective and/or pass this request along to anyone you think might be interested. The compiled results of the survey will be made available and will also be used at the OSHWA's DocJam.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Matthew Maier
