The Theory

The underlying theory in a nutshell. The Theory must be presented as a working hypothesis that is being explored and tested. There must be an experimental procedure to test the theory- the theory must be testable. The Theory question must be well-posed: an answer must exist. If any of these criteria are missing then the project will not move forward effectively.

Existing problems

- in the real world that relate to this theory, a brief description.

1. Proposed way to apply the theory to those existing problems, the context or pre-requisites for this solution (solution in this case is application of the theory)
2. Related existing work that verifies feasability with context summary of links to those references
3. Related existing data or facts that support theory
4. Existing constraints and barriers to deploying
5. Related existing work that argues against theory (or summary and link to a place where this already exists)
6. facts and data that support arguments against theory
7. A brief summary about how this is related to Open Source Ecology (Relevance to OSE) core values
8. Links to partner site references
9. Seperate headings for descriptions of all active businesses, which will be supported by OSE infrastructure. We will provide you with resources you need, and help in growing this into an actual pilot project, help in connecting with other people, etc. We will help you grow this into a tangible real world project, the same way that we are growing open designs into real world products right now. When ventures are made, partnered open source software, open knowledge resources, and open design projects will receive a share of revenue
