In particular I'd like to see the 'Example and support code' section fleshed out a bit more; some examples of code like that and/or vendors doing the right thing would be great. I'm a little fuzzy as to what kind of code this is.
New point: "Provides example code via e-mail, no NDA/license agreement required" should be equivalent to web page with click-through license or better.
Fixed. The Alix.1C now has four hares!
"Code is freely available under a free software license. It can be downloaded on the web after agreeing to a click-through license." What happens if the click-through license is the GPL?
Many people seem to do this (cf. any free software install for OS X), but it does not make sense to do so - there's nothing in the GPL that requires a click-through if you want to use the software.
Also, the score is heavily skewed towards documentation right now (80 out of 124 points). I think that is fine but others may think otherwise.
I just made up the hackability scores - do they make sense to people? Should a JTAG header be rewarded higher than it is?
IIRC for some processors a JTAG header is simply not an option.
Ah, good point. Not sure what to do about that though in terms of scoring. Hrm, that hardware gets penalized a bit (5 points they can not get).
Thanks, Ward.
