This past year, we gave our appendage IDW's to other teams at Ann Arbor and let others take photos of our design when they asked. We found it flattering, especially when the team recognized us on their appendages. Even though others had our designs, we were still the ones that did the math and knew how the design worked. We still ended up having a competitive edge, even when a half dozen or so teams had the same design as us.
We had a no secrets policy for Breakaway, but we never went out of our way to share what we were doing. I don't see us starting a separate blog or anything, but we will probably end up using Twitter extensively and I'll probably start a thread here on Chief Delphi.
