What do you think about clarifying the sharing best practices page to be more explicit about which practices are the core / required parts of open-source hardware and which are nice additional things to do? Right now, that page makes it sound more-or-less like you can share whatever you want and still be considered open-source hardware. We clarify that in other place on the site, of course, but I wouldn't assume people will have read any of that first. <div class="gmail_extra">

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.<br>

There are a lot of good suggestions there! I think it's important to clarify how they relate to the definition of open-source hardware; that is, which files constitute open-source hardware (vs. just being helpful). <div>
<br></div><div>Also, this is addressing some of the same topics as the FAQ. What do you think about integrating the two in some way?</div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Nice! I'll integrate this into the FAQ on the site, unless someone else does it first. :)<br>
