Hi; After thinking a great deal about Josh Berkus's suggestion that we use a text file with some sort of self-documenting API capabilities. In general, I like this idea, but I was wondering if it was a good idea to store this in the database. If we want to, we could also use something like XML o

Charley, Thanks for the input. I've found some manufacturing documentation published on the web and I'm sifting through the material to develop commonalities to be used in developing a design plan or design document for review. I'm thinking about creating a sourceforge project to post the inf
