For the MSP430 project boards, it would be handy to have a bullet point in each page that describes at least the flash ROM and RAM sizes, maybe other special features of note.

The MSP430F1611 header board http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ucts_id=47 is an example where basic information is provided.

I found myself flipping all over the place trying to figure out what I wanted, and after a while, the part numbers blur together... I realize that the RAM and ROM are encoded in the part number, but I haven't yet memorized everything.

The slightly more esoteric details are fine to leave to the spec sheets (brownout protection, etc), but the main stuff would be nice to see summarized.

A very useful tidbit for the header boards (at least the MSP430 boards I see) would be knowing what the pin spacing is, and what type of socket, if any, it is designed to fit into.

http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ucts_id=43

is an example where I'm left guessing as to whether it is going to fit into a .1" spacing breadboard, for example.

If it is standard 28 pin DIP, go ahead and say so! It will help customers a lot, in my opinion.

I looked at the Olimex site and note that they have additional info not present on the sparkfun site... some modest copy and paste would help sparkfun customers.
