Contributing to ChipDB

Since this is an alpha-stage project, I don't have an automated account system yet. If you'd like to contribute to ChipDB, send an email to

chipdb·at·gmail·dot·com

• The subject "ChipDB Account Request."
• The username you'd like. No spaces or weird symbols, please.
• What you're intrested in contributing. (Doesn't have to be too specific, just a quick explanation of why you'd like an account.)

You'll receive a password, which will allow you to submit new entries or make changes to existing ones. (Authentication is very basic at this point.)

Please note the following:

• All submissions or edits are reviewed before being posted. This may change in the future if the number of contributors gets large enough..
• You should review the style of the existing entries and keep your submissions consistent.
• Only dual-inline packages (DIP, SOIC, etc.) are supported at this time. QFPs, etc. are not yet supported.
• I'm currently processsing emails manually. It might be a day (or more) before you receive your password or your submission is posted.
• This is not meant to be a comprehensive archive of every integrated circuit ever created, nor a shopping guide. (I'll leave that to Octopart.) It's supposed to be a quick reference for the parts used most often by hobbyists like you and me. However, entries for old, out-of-production parts are welcome, for the sake of preservation.
