Hello.

I am currently set up a project just to do the same - and even a  
little bit more.

My proposal is to set up a 'google-like' OSHW search enginge, which chaches
- original data sheets in PDF, PS
- models (spice, IBIS, HDL, BSDL, ..)
- symboles and footprints (geda, kicad)
- OSHW schematics etc.


All findings should be referenced to the original, hashed by MD5/SHA2  
and tagged
w/ date/location/license.

In the beginning it seems to be a lot of hand crafts work, but I plan to do
it more sophisticated and automated (wget, rsync, ...)

I'd planned to spread my proposal at FOSDEM 'cause I am a Chip  
Designer and not
involved in SW.

Regards,
Hagen.
