I think this is great, and very needed! I'm torn between "open source
hardware" and "open hardware". 'source' could apply to our schematics /
gerbers etc. although it doesn't seem as good fit as when applied to
software.
Maybe "open design hardware" would be better? But then I really like
the parallel that OSH builds with OSS, benefiting us from that already
understood software approach.
Overall, I think I prefer OSH. (not to be confused with occupational
health and safety...)
