Hey guys,

I'm really looking forward to attending the documentation jam. In my humble opinion documentation is exactly the discussion that the community needs to be having right now.

In fact, I was already working towards that (great minds think alike). This is the website I just launched (beta) to attempt to move towards fulfilling the idea of a "Github for hardware."

www.wareium.com

To summarize, the way I see it we need a schema for tying together different files and information that define projects. That will probably get complicated so we'll also need a software engine to put a GUI between the user and the schema.

By way of a requirements analysis for those the schema, the engine, and wareium, I've put together a survey to be sent out to the whole community. It doesn't have a name yet. I'm leaning towards The Open Hardware Toolbox Survey, or something along those lines.

I would like to get your input on the draft version of the survey itself as well as any ideas regarding a good, clear name for the survey. The results will be particularly useful with the document jam coming up soon.

Thanks for your time and attention,
Matthew Maier
