Publishing Process
Preliminary
Design a new template focusing on Module Based Design.
R&D
Recruit machine design SMEs and technology historians. Publish history, tech tree of choices, parts/functional diagram, how it works, why it works, industry standards, market research, economic significance, applications, literature search, encyclopedia of related functional mechanisms, design rationales, and patents. This means refine the OSE R&D Template to these items.
Design
- Publish FreeCAD Instructional Requirements
- Recruit instructional producers who have done FreeCAD instructionals to refactor their instructionals to XM status - ie, into 2 minute rapid learning segments.
- Publish an official list of Design instructionals.
- Develop and publish design libraries and part generators, such as plate, tubing, and constrained 2D for extrusion in FreeCAD. Publish 3D renders, and embed them.with the part library.
- Create FreeCAD Part Library Standards
- Create FreeCAD Tractor Design Workbench Requirements.
- Create FreeCAD Tractor Design Workbench
- Produce calculations and CAE for design library. Produce Calculation Standards.
- Release first version of OSE Linux.
