[Discuss] Sharing best practices

[Nathan Seidle]

Very good point. I think the work you've done on the FAQ, specifically
under "What files do I need to share?", nicely covers what is required to
fit the definition. I would suggest adding only a link to the Sharing Best
Practices page from the "What are other best practices for open source
hardware?" section on the FAQ. I see the 'sharing best practices' page as a
reference to all the various bits that make up a piece of hardware that
could be shared. If someone isn't quite sure how to share their specific
format, they should be able to find the rough answer on the FAQ and some
further clarity on the SBP page.
