[sdiy] - Service Manual Project -

[Mo Rosati]

Hi,
 
I have posted the following message to AH & VSE... just wondering if
anyone from SDIY is intrested in the project....

 

Here's something I've been meaning to do for a long, long time, create a
space on the internet for EVERYONE to share their vintage synth service
manuals FOR FREE! Imagine, the NAPSTER of Service Manuals... where
people can upload their item, an admin or two would organize, catalog,
label & verify it, then it's moved to a download area for all to use.
Think of this as a way of centralizing & organizing all the available
FREE service manuals ( plus a few additional ones ) in ONE spot,
available to anyone for both uploading & downloading. 

After uploading my scanned copy of the Yamaha CS-15 Service Manual to my
mediafire account: 

http://www.mediafire.com/?0njbzlmywzv 

It's been downloaded over 130 times so far, and I can't tell how good
that makes me feel to be able to share it with the world. 

I originally posted this project idea to the AH mailing list, & I'm very
excited that an two AH members have offered their services for hosting &
web design, one in the US & one in Germany so far...any ADDITIONAL help
would be greatly appreciated. Due to the WORLDWIDE aspect of AH, VSE &
this project, I'm sure we could use a few more people. This project is
now in the first phase of testing & organizing but I think we'll be able
to offer something everyone can use in the near future. With a little
effort, contribution & elbow grease, I believe we can accomplish
something VERY impressive! 

Meanwhile... 

-- Project Name -- 

Every project needs a COOL name and / or acronym, any thoughts /
suggestions eg: 

Project: V.A.S.M.A. - Vintage Analog Service Manuals for All 

or 

Project: F.A.S.M.A. - Free Analog Service Manuals for All 

or 

S.M.P. - Service Manual Project 

-- File Naming Conventions -- 

Looking for a standard naming convention that we can apply UNIVERSALLY
to all the various manufact. & gear.. 
Something very simple, yet very descriptive, without being 1000
characters long... any suggestions? 

Thanks,
