Circuit diagrams, wiring diagrams

Colleagues,
Our friend Scalyback did that brilliant wiring diagram for the 2011 Bullet a few months ago.
To complement the wiring diagram I've done a series of circuit diagrams. In case you don't know the difference: the wiring diagram shows how the components are wired together; the circuit diagram shows how the circuits behave electrically, with no effort to show how the circuit is actually wired up.
If you want to fault-find, the circuit diagrams are invaluable, because they are SO much easier to follow than the wiring diagrams. In reality, you don't use the circuit diagrams on their own - you always use them in conjunction with the wiring diagram. The two are complementary.
It will all become clearer if I show you an example:
This is Scaly's original diagram, but with each connector given an identifier (two letters, AA - BH) - Bullet Wiring Diagram
This is the same diagram, but with a key to help you find where a given connector is - Bullet Wiring Diagram showing connectors
This is an example diagram, showing the horn, neutral light and low fuel light circuits, including the connectors in each circuit - Bullet Circuit Diagram
Questions: Is this work likely to be of any use to anyone in this community? What is the best way of sharing these files, and making them permanently available (the same goes for Scaly's diagram)?
