Instructional Manual - Crowd Development

This page is a radical experiment - intended to fund Jean-Baptiste Vervaeck (see Jean-Baptiste Log to produce a template for OSE's published instructionals, apprximately 50 pages containing comprehensive information and links to an OSE machine. The deadline is April 25 including test content - to be applied to the CEB Press. The goal amount is from Free to USD$3000 for a committed effort of 40 hours per week. This works by others contributing either funding or other assets, with Jean-Baptise serving as the core Coordinator on OSE's side.

We start with a Request for Proposals: the Specifications for the Manual.

[edit]

Anyone is welcome to apply for specific parts of the proposal - where the smallest effort will be considered. To do so, please download a copy of the RFP template, and state a bid for what that work will cost you. Please make sure your provide some 'skin-in-the game', ie, your bid should include some part of the work or some form of indication that you are capable of executing on the task. We are following a stone-soup concept - where we are putting in things voluntarily - including an ability to fund the work being done - all considered voluntary donations.

The advantage of using Indiegogo or other crowdfunding campaigns is that there is an extra level of visibility. However, there are costs associated with this - up to 12% for unsuccessful campaigns.
