[OWW-SC] Spreading the open culture

[Tom Knight]

You may be interested in a push towards an open collection of circuit 
techniques which has started:

Dear Prof. Knight
 
You may recollect our earlier conversation about an open web 
environment to share knowledge regarding circuits. The conversation 
with you was interesting and very helpful. I went forward to build an 
interface for a web-based community for this.
 
Kindly see: http://scripts.mit.edu/~varun_ag/circuitopedia
 
It has templates and instructions for entering new stuff and some lay 
categorization for circuits. I have added an example opamp to show how 
and what kind of information about a circuit can be added and re-used.
 
I would like to hear your comments, suggestions and criticisms on the 
platform. Also, I want to discuss strategies to get it populated. I am 
considering both top-down (faculty, well-known designer endorsement, 
support to trickle down) or bottom-up (students and amateur designers 
take it up) or both approaches for them.
 
Can I come and see you some time.
 
Thanks
Varun
