Why you should document your Open Source Hardware project:
This specific moment, that moment when you start working on the refinements of a product to create the second version, could be a great moment to document your invention.
In fact, when you start again the production process, you already know how to do things, and also, you know what are the most complicated moments in the building process and you could leverage on this information to create compelling guidelines for folks interested in replication.
