FabDoc - Version Control Tool for makers

Simplify the way of documenting projects in software and hardware, based on Raspberry Pi Zero and camera module We are all facing a lot of works of documentation beyond making, especially when we would like to share and collaboratively develop “hardware” projects.There are too many version control system (VCS) tools for “software” projects so that we could fortunately join any large-scale software projects, such as Linux, if they are open source. But what happen to “hardware” projects? Can we enlarge the scale of these projects with VCS tools?There are too many physical details (materials, machines, parameters…) which should be well-documented before cooperating, but unfortunately cannot be easily digitized into documentation or VCS.We are trying to hack the way of documenting for all of makers’ projects, simply with Raspberry Pi, camera module, and experimental platform.”
