[Cad] excited about pubpub upcoming feature list & support for open source hardware on online journals

[Jeremy Wright]

Hi Nancy,

The 3D CAD and hardware design file support sounds very interesting to me.
How far along are those features, and are they things that a normal user of
PubPub (who's not associated with MIT) could try out?

I'm not familiar with PubPub or how it works. How would I start a Pub for
documenting a hardware project? Should a Journal be started by an org to
collect all its hardware-related Pubs in one place?

Thanks,

Jeremy
