Simplest implementation:

  • Draw up Requests for Bids/Proposals (RFPs). These must be significant enough that visible and substantial progress is made on OSE work - but they must be small enough that they are clearly defined.
  • Crowd RFPs - by breaking these into the smallest tasks possible, these become shareable as social media discussions and requests. See Chunkworks.
  • Bidders review RFPs and submit Open Bids. Open process allows anybody to upload work product to the OSE Wiki. All work is submitted under the current CC-BY-SA license. Open sharing of results encourages others to collaborate and build upon each others' work. Bids are logged simply as entries on wiki pages.
  • Donations are shown in a funding basket icon.
  • Crowds vote for the winner. Judging criterion: quality of product AND quality of collaboration. When two comparable results are proposed, the one which showed more collaboration wins. Collaboration is assessed by how much a person borrowed from other bidders, and how much of their work was adopted by others.
