Exploring Slack- team communication application. Also testing Silk for Development Board Implementation. Proves very useful and can be very powerful if implemented. Usability is higher than the spreadsheet itself. Data manipulation is also higher. Mashable see below. Free for the public, and free to teams for now. Created a dozuki guide for creating work log in the wiki.

Forums
Lulzbot ForumLulzbot Forum uses phpBB with a theme by Sopel. Nice presentation and clean. Does not have social media plug-ins however they maybe available. Upvoting is also a plugin that is not being used or installed. No badges.
Discourse.org Also features meta.discourse.org, a next forum based platform. Discourse has many features ideal for use. Open source and supports one time installation via a cloud provider such as Digital Ocean for hosting ~ $10 a months versus $100 on a supported server. A possible serious contender and solution for a next gen forum platform. Badges, social media, and likes' are supported view the about page for a list of features. Total investment= $99 & a hosting provider $10 a month cloud server. $120 + $99 = $219 1st year, $120 a year after first year.

Cloud Farm Management -
Some of the major challenges in urban and rural farming are information management and data collection for economic analysis. Resource management can also be used to lower administrative costs, and also improve decision making when markets change. Cloud farm management could also be a means to share data with respected cohorts and customers for sourcing and food security.

Soil Compaction
Soil compaction and testing methods are essential to understanding how brick pressing sampling is possible and feasible. Making how to instructional videos can be helpful to ease the learning curve. When building a concrete foundation and other soil applications for heavy loads soil testing is important for structural integrity and long term risk management. Soil Compaction document Example 1
Soil Compaction Document Example 2
Pocket Penetrometer Quick and fast method for testing compressive strength of soil.
Ridiculously expensive Penetrometer
"The Troxler Model 3430" "gives you the fast, accurate, and consistent results you need to fulfill the testing requirements on today's construction projects. The Model 3430 provides the basic features required for determining the density of asphalt, soil, aggregate or concrete and the moisture of soil or aggregate. It and the other gauges in the 3400 series have replaced conventional density test methods and have become the industry standard."
Troxler 3430 Used price is about $3,000. Standard Proctor and Modified Proctor is less expensive and affordable solution.
Walk behind machinery tech-
Walk behind technology and machines can be an alternative to CEB loading and soil pulverizing. Developing the Open Source Walk Behind Tractor is a lower start-up cost than the larger tractor. Walk behind tractors can offer flexibility and lower barriers to application.
