=Notes on Wiki Infrastructure for Open Engineering=


Mel's Comment:
#REDIRECT [[Tech Development]]
 
Marcin and I just spoke about this on the phone - Marcin, reminderping
to coordinate a discussion w/ Chris (cc'd) & Vinay on the wiki-merge issue.
 
The way I see it, Appropedia can become a Sourceforge for open
engineering. (Sure, it could use a better infrastructure for projects,
but... we can work on that.)* It's a place where individual open
engineering projects related to appropriate technology can have project
websites, host files, etc. Development work, instructions on how to
build a hexayurt, etc. would all be here.
 
OSE can then go and say things like "Look at all these different pieces
of the puzzle that exist - full-fledged technologies being developed
independently on places like Appropedia. Here's how you could combine
them all into a working village - for housing, you could build hexayurts
like this <link to hexayurt-building instruction pages on Appropedia>
which would mean X, Y, and Z for the economics/dynamics/environmental
impact of the village."
 
But that's just my $0.02, and I'll leave the discussion to Marcin,
Vinay, and Chris.

Marcin's comments:
 
*We need: a Platform for Open Engineering
*Marcin's personal attempt: openfarmtech.org - under Development Template.
**However, this has a particular spec for its open engineering - it it open engineering + OSE Specifications (see Main Page)
*Once a better infrastructure for projects exists at Appropedia, then we could consider using it for some technical developments.
*Summary: unless someone can show me a better development platform, the Development Template is good enough for now. It embodies OSE Spec.
 
'''Critical additional comment''':
*OSE adds value in that (1) attempts open engineering, (2) does so according to a very unique goal - replicable villages with particular attributes as described on the Main Page
*It is the addition of value according to a unique goal that adds value to the open engineering itself. It is what drives the specifications for open engineering.
*I don't think one would come up with an option for creating OSE's replicable village if one just took a number of technologies and put them together. The OSE Specification (look on Main Page) is a glue for the type of engineering that goes on. Without that glue, you'd never arrive at the type of engineering proposed.
