Replication

Replication Discussions Feel free to discuss your ideas and experiences regarding replication on the GVCS Replication category of our forum.

Here we outline educational methods for replicating each part needed to produce the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). Hypothetically, after prototype testing, these methods can be put to practice beginning with the first product order, constructed by a first time Maker under supervision of an experienced Maker of the same product. This page provides the basis for a strategic plan to replicate GVCS.

Replicators Network Surveys

The Replicators Network Surveys are designed to help us learn from independent replicators and move forward in our pursuit of identifying economic best practices. To use a metaphor, each set of documentation and the design idea they represent are like a hypothesis, and independent replications are ways of testing the soundness of our estimates. The surveys, then, help us gather information about the results of the experimentation that takes place across our global network of independent replicators. By participating in this process, you help the Open Source Ecology community learn and fulfill its mission.
