About

This is an upvoting Q&A site. Stackexchange.com. See Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_Exchange - License is proprietary - [1]

The key point of OSE relevance is that OSE would benefit from upvoting in terms of aggregating wisdom of crowds for collaborative development. Any endless threads of low quality forum threads can be improved by simply adding upvoting - where the most valuable content begins to move up in prominence by being placed at the top of the page. This is an indispensible tool for any platform that would like to tap the wisdom of contributors.

OSE Use Cases

  1. Customer support for technical issues on products
  2. Technical development site for any projects or machine development - where questions can be asked and the most relevant knowledge flows to the top.
  3. Independent embed in wiki and blog - allows this functionality to be portable - whether we are adding value to blog post comments or content of a wiki page
  4. Service to collaborators - OSE collaborators can get access for embedding upvoting in their own platforms for allied open source product development efforts.
  5. Use as a survey, where people respond to a survey question and upvote or learn from others' answers. Thus, this could be a tool for upgrading human consciousness.
