Some recommendations about using our P2P Foundation material for this:

* In the wiki, we have to sections, http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Design (for the open/shared design cooperation aspect), and http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Manufacturing for the ‘making’ aspect. There are mirrored by the two delicious tags, http://del.icio.us/mbauwens/P2P-Design and http://del.icio.us/mbauwens/P2P-Manufacturing, and also http://del.icio.us/mbauwens/P2P-Hardware .

I would recommend reading the recommended intro articles on the wiki sections for a first approach. Putting the 3 delicious tags in a feedreader would then keep you abreast of new developments.

Since going through the tags retrospectively would take up quite a bit of time and might be discouraring , the blog archive, http://blog.p2pfoundation.net/category/desktop-manufacturing, could be useful as it is where we report only on the most important developments …

The page http://p2pfoundation.net/Product_Hacking is a directory of sorts of open hardware projects and we try to update it on a ongoing basis.
