Merge with other embedded system project?

[fkromer]

I started some project about embedded systems learning resources some while ago and hosted it with readthedocs.org. Seems like the projects are overlapping to a great extend (my project is missing frameworks but lists much more books, MOOCs, etc.). Would you be interested to merge?

I would be interested in merging. I wanted to follow a formatting that is used by other awesome lists rather than a website based list (so markdown, and in the format described by https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome).

I am up for a discussion on this front, the content on your list is great and I would like to integrate the lists some how.

[fkromer]

I do not care about project or content ownership. I care about avoiding dublication and ease of maintenance. I like the awesome-lint functionality to check for broken URLs. I did not know it. I am fine with integrating my content into your project. For referencing books I prefer some bibliography style (plus ISBN) instead of plain URL hyperlinking to some book store website. What formating can be used in your project for something like that?

[cwoodall]

I have a few proposals. Not 100% on which of them is best.

We could enforce a bibliography style of some sort on merges. Maybe just keep the list format of traditional awesome-lists rather than using a table?

• [Authors. Book Title, Edition. Publisher, Year.](link if one is provided) - Description

[fkromer]

The traditional list format should be ok. I would consider a hyperlink to a books table of content helpful. Many book publishers provide that on the book landing page e.g. Building Embedded Linux Systems.

@cwoodall I would like to pass my repo name awesome-embedded-systems on to you. This name suits the list content better than awesome-embedded, right? Let me know if you are interested and I will change my repo name and merge the content...

[cwoodall]

@fkromer I agree.

Would you mind if I made it so you were able to manage this repo along with me?

[fkromer]

@cwoodall yeah, why not. I would have put some time into this topic either way.

[fkromer]

@cwoodall you can take over the repo name now...
