Yes

Any content to add/remove?

Home

* I'd remove references to the canvas here, basically replace 1st paragraph with:

As part of this module you will learn what is the scope your project and why it's important to define it; you will hear about the different types of projects based on their relation to existent ones, and we will guide you through the building blocks you need to consider, with a focus in your project home.

• I agree to remove the Canvas reference but don't understand what you want to say with "with a focus on your project home".
• I removed the reference and wrote:

  As part of this module you will learn how to scope your project and why it's important to define it. You will hear about the different types of projects based on their relation to existing ones. We will guide you through the various building blocks you need to consider for building your open hardware project.

2.1 "Defining your project"

* I'd change the bullets for numbers, as later on I refer to the questions with numbering

• fixed that
• I changed in summary "Delimit the scope" to "Define the scope" because I think define is more common language
• changed delimiting > defining also in the text.
• changed ... detailing now > we will discuss in detail now (simpler language?)
• wrote and between "device to produce air quality data or air quality AND water quality data" in caps

2.2 "Working smart"

• nothing from my side

2.3 "Building blocks overview"

* I'd add a closing paragraph to the "The minimum you need to get there" section, something like this:

Think of the necessary materials and steps you need to follow, to achieve that minimum piece of work that satisfies the goal you defined in the previous module.

• doesn't hurt, added the sentence

2.4 "First impressions matter"

• nothing to add/remove from my side

Any more resources?

• added them

For 2.2

• added them

For 2.3

* [Overview of the Various Types of Hardware Prototypes](https://www.hackster.io/news/overview-of-the-various-types-of-hardware-prototypes-60d33d92e3a3)
* [OSHWA - Best practices for Open source Hardware 1.0](https://www.oshwa.org/sharing-best-practices/)

• added them

For 2.4

• well, let's see what feedback we get. I guess building webpages is not easy for everyone

Are the assignments appropriate

For 2.1

Yes, I think it makes sense. I'd only replace the sample statement with an example closer to open hardware (this was Mozilla's example), and make sure to highlight/colour the key parts in the statement skeleton

• I changed the example statement: I’m working with plant scientists in Boston to develop a remote sensor to measure plant water content, so it can be used in areas with water shortage to efficiently water crop plants to sustain supply of drinking water and food.

For 2.2

For 2.3

Yes, makes sense, they go back to the canvas and review. Also documenting prototypes ideas is good for fostering doc practice.

• I strongly agree

For 2.4

Feels natural to ask them to draft a home page, it will help them decant ideas about their goals also. I agree

Typos

For 2.1

In the introduction we already mentioned some terms that we will be detailing more now. For example: you may be developing an environmental monitoring tool, but is the goal of the device to produce air quality data or air quality and water quality data? Finally, question 4 asks about your motivation to work on this project. It makes you think of what would be different in the world if your project already existed.

• fixed them

For 2.2

• Most derivatives are more or less copies of the original

For 2.3

Software and firmware: if your project needs code to run, include the source, dependencies, version and state (stable or not?).

• fixed
• broad idea about what open hardware is

For 2.4

This is another advantage of making web pages with GitHub/GitLab: you can easily update the website just by modifying the README or source file.

• fixed that
