Include open source boards as demo projects?

 

Hi,
A moment ago I had the idea of include open source projects in the demos/
directory.

There are enough high quality open source projects out there, most of them
would be happy to be included in kicad, its a way for them to get closer to
the community. It is also a way for kicad to get closer to that community.

We were going to include just screenshots of these projects in the web
page, maybe its a good chance to get that a bit further and let new users
open what they see in the webpage.

I could get in contact with some hw developers to ask them if they want to
be included in kicad, but its up to you guys to decide wether this is
a,good idea or not.

Here are some screenshots of what we could gather from the internet so you
can see the actual status. As you can see, most of them would need some 3D
models and some revew to check if its well designed.

Is this a good idea for the release?
