BOM in editible format? #34

Closed JamesNewton closed 7 years ago

JamesNewton commented 7 years ago

Would it be possible to transition the new BOM to something editable like a text document (.CSV, .TSV) or a google sheet so that those of us without Excel can edit it?

Github plays nicely with .CSV: https://help.github.com/articles/rendering-csv-and-tsv-data/

If that is acceptable (e.g. no one objects) I'll just do it.

@JamesNewton the CSV support for GitHub is neat - I haven't seen that before. It would be nice to have the BOM in the source code (as a csv). I would vote for that or Google Sheets.

Ok, it's there as the csv. I updated it with links to the parts I'm donating, and tweaked the formatting a bit to fit better on the page. Honestly, it's a bit of a pain to edit as a CSV file, but it is nice to have the BOM in source.

I like it!
