Firmata protocol in Github about arduino

[soundanalogous]

Yeah I'd like this as well. Reason it's been on firmata.org for so long is that:

1. No one has time to move it. Seems to be very little interest in contributing to Firmata in general unfortunately. I can only do so much in my limited free time.
2. (A generalization) Many people with HW backgrounds haven't caught onto github yet. They still tend use message boards and email lists but I think they will move over in time.

I'll create these repos, but will need help moving stuff over.

repo created: https://github.com/firmata/protocol

Proposals should be submitted as issues and organized by a 'proposal' label.

TBD: document protocol as a single readme or break up into a separate text file per feature (or by groups of related features).

thanks for your answer

I think it could be interesting to have specific text (or Markdown) files for major features such as I2C, Stepper OneWire, Servos etc.

for initialization queries (capacabilities, analog mapping, sampling interval), they could be brought together in a single file.
