[sdiy] Marketplace Question

[Jimmy Moore]

Count me in as a volunteer.  Mild design experience and fluent with LaTex.

100 people typing out 65 pages each doesn't sound all that bad. Figures,
sketches, and diagrams can be screen-shot, and added to a queue to for
re-creation in some other format (kicad, TikZ, etc.).  I know this has been
discussed to death, but seems ripe for a crowdsourced effort.  This could
surely be carved into a multi-volume effort along the typical
building-blocks (VCO, VCF, EG, etc.).
