[Discuss] Sharing best practices

[Nathan Seidle]

@Cameron - excellent point for the suppliers info page. I'm sure
Michael is taking notes :)

@Pierce/Bryan - Great points. In general, I don't believe the
specifics of how to generate a BOM matters as much as a general
pointer towards 'this is a good tool'. If you have a recommended tool,
please add it to the doc/page for other folks. Remember, 100x more
people will read the page than will read our discussion list.
