Hi all,

I've used the Teensy in about 10 projects now and find myself looking for the same information most of the time. I've also introduced the Teensy to a few others and end up explaining the basics to them. So I started to do some documentation for myself & friends and realized that it's within scope to release to the community. I then took this chance to learn some new web technologies (Jekyll & Liquid) so I've started a publically accessible mini-site that is easy for the community to submit edits to.

I don't see this as wasted effort if a wiki does come out; firstly it seems that Paul has a million other worthy things to do so it'll be good to take the pressure off for a while. Secondly all the pages are written in Markdown which any decent wiki should support for migration. There is also the potential that a documentation mini-site and a wiki are two things that have different scopes anyway and could exist concurrently.

This is all hosted on GitHub and I'm open to any pull requests with additional content/corrections.
Instructions on running teensybase on your local computer are here: http://teensybase.github.io/teensybase/contributing/
There are empty pages; I'm waiting for a good chance to take some pictures of the boards or get Paul's permission to use his with source attribution.

I hope you all have a great Christmas; I shall be learning as much as I can about Teensy and writing it up!

Hi macaba, big announcement for a small directory of blank pages... I expected at least a little "butter with the fish" as they say in Frisia...

I see your point; it's a work in progress. Please consider contributing as you are one of the great sources of knowledge here on the forum.

So far I've really just focused on the layout/auto-generation of pages & making it easy for anyone to contribute - so all the infrastructure around the content... but not much content.

If you're lacking time but you've got some interesting forum posts that would only need a little bit of editing to put into teensybase as useful knowledge for all, please could I use them?

I can't decide if my posts are of common interest, but if you find some which are in your eyes, please feel free to rework these.
