Hello! You must be new to all this so here's a rough breakdown of what is going on.

overview: http://gnusha.org/skdb/

to download packages:
python clients/skdb-get.py lego
python clients/skdb-get.py screw

Completed features:
- a simple example package describing a typical screw from the hardware store
- the screw has a set of requirements for being manufactured
- the package has a set of packages it needs to work right (threads package)
- the package contains metadata such as homepage URL, author, copyright license
- run ~/.skdb/lego/demo.py to demonstrate interface compatibility
- run paths.py to demonstrate making a lego assembly
- generate an assembly graph via igraph

here is a break down of the current directory structure:

config.yaml
you need to edit this

clients/
front-ends for ordering parts. later there will be tools here for doing pretend scenarios, generating instructions, or assembling armies of giant robots

core/
code needed for loading, parsing, and drawing inferences from package data

geom/
optional code to work with pythonOCC/OpenCASCADE

gui/
optional code to work with pythonOCC/wxPython (graphical user interface)

doc/
instructions for how to use SKDB (maybe some day)

doc/BOMs
miscellaneous "required materials" lists for different fields of study (half-baked)

doc/proposals
pseudo-code used by the developers to bounce ideas off each other

icons/
generic representations of manufacturing techniques. this will move soon

import_tools/
command line scripts that are used to convert from external file formats and databases

inventory/
(mostly web-based) tools for managing your personal inventory, searching for resources in other locations, and data about various specific facilities and their access policy

packages/
sample SKDB packages defining a set of artifacts, processes and stuff you can do with them

tests/
run these after hacking to make sure you didn't break anything
