Foundation Stone

Aims

  • Build and provide an Embedded Systems knowledge base for everyone interested in the subject from novices to experts
  • Provide wiki pages, discussion forums and other communication methods to help and guide each other
  • More than Wikipedia will allow, much more free, helpful and inclusive

How

  • This is a collaborative effort, everyone can help, even if it's just a little knowledge or simple question
  • People ask questions and discuss issues in the forums, when a conclusion is reached then make a new wiki entry or page update

What

  • There are many aspects of embedded systems and many ways of creating them, we want to capture them
  • There are many design methods, good practices, algorithms, code snippets, concepts, etc that will mean better, more reliable system design  - we want to capture them
  • There are also many gotchas and quirks that many people have spent a lot of time debugging, we want to capture them so other people can quickly fix similar issues
  • Evaluations, reviews and comparisons of different products: microcontrollers, development systems, operating systems, design methods, etc.

When

  • Please get involved now and in to the future, it's going to take time and a lot of people!

To Do

  1. Before we accept any content we need to decide on the Contributed Content Copyright. A Creative Commons copyright for info? Maybe free for code snippets?
    1. WIP Copyright License
  2. Aims
  3. Basic web-site structure
  4. Basic rules for contributors - how to use the structure, copyright acceptance, ensure contributor has the right to publish under the site copyright, no flame-wars, etc. Here are some other wiki sites:
    1. CZ:Organization
    2. CZ:Introduction to CZ for Wikipedians
  5. Logo! We need a good logo
  6. Suggestion and brainstorm forum, voting, etc.
