Bill,
I think it is a great initiative and hope it will be available for download somewhere ;o)
I think a tougher job would be though writing a presentation on how to write fab drawings. I don't know if this is covered in the CID classes, but I surely know that 90% of the fab drawings that I see are either meaningless, or have exagerated requirements. Not to mention that at least 25% of the PCBs that I check have no fab drawings!
Any clues on where to find guidelines on writing tech notes for PCBs?
Regards,
Ioan
