[Noisebridge-discuss] electronics lab

[jim]

further tho'ts: 

   i can chip in some time monday 1201 and 
subsequent weekdays. 

   should various electronic components be 
doc'ed on the wiki? seems like maybe a 
specification of staples and minimum 
quantities, no expensive stuff (transformers, 
power transistors, other >$5.00 or so  items). 
i'd be willing to type stuff in if i know 
what's usefully typed. 

   i can share a few component storage 
cabinets (what's a good name for plastic 
frames with little drawers in them?). 

   i have some various types of lumber and 
nails and screws and glue....
