Insructables' open source mission announced at Maker Faire

This from Lifehacker:

"Of all the presentations I checked out at the Maker Faire, I found none more promising than the presentation by Instructables co-founder Eric Wilhelm, who described Instructables as working towards the goal of open source hardware. By lowering the threshold of documentation (his words), Instructables hopes in turn to lower the threshold for participating and MAKE-ing. Sounds like a nice world to me, especially as someone who’s never found a particularly easy jumping-off point for getting down and dirty with hardware DIY."

Those instructable guys get around. Man I wish I could be at Maker Faire right now...
