Absolutely - I'm having each group (a group being one or two people) give 
me a schematic, perfboard layout (a labeled photo is ok), and a "user's 
manual" explaining what they did and what choices they made and why (and I 
told them "we picked 4.7 nF because we tried various caps and 4.7 nF 
sounded the coolest" is a perfectly valid answer!) - enough for people to 
reproduce their work. Then I'm going to put it all up on an archival 
website so people can download, build, hack and modify, etc.

For things like the flanger, I've asked for instructions of what traces to 
cut where, where on the board to connect to, etc.

Discussions on the SDIY list lead me to me thinking of starting this 
class. This will be our way of giving back; and definitely, all the 
feedback people are giving has been incredibly helpful, both on the 
student projects, and the help people have been giving when I've been 
preparing lectures.
