Below is my running list of things missing from the Global Village Construction Kit which I believe are need for a functional village, but are not included in this wiki (yet).

Mostly these are things I have searched for, and am kind of depressed there is no page for. As a non-contributor, I was not comfortable making pages for these, since I assume they will be not maintained or updated.

= Things This Village Is Missing That Make Me Cry =


 * Sewing Machine - Seriously. Working on a CNC Mill is no fun naked.
 * Washing Machine - Also seriously. One of the most labor-saving devices in America.
 * Loom - Working on a CNC Mill is no fun naked. Like I said
 * Clayworks - Tools for Jar/Pot/Dishware arts Clay throwing, firing
 * Glasswork (Dishware, Windows, etc)
 * Leather/Plastic work tools - For durables like Leather or stiff plastics.
 * Grain Mill - This one makes me want to cry. Tractor? Check. Baler/Thresher? Check. Bread Oven? Check. A way to turn grain into flour for the bread oven? Nope.

Feel free to add to this, my personal list of overlooked (and mayhaps unsexy) technologies needed to keep a sustainable village running.

Hello Far McKon! I liked your comment at Talk:Global Village Construction Set. I love the OSE project very much and I am very enthusiastic about it. I am also a True Fan and I already made sizable donations for the project. But I think the project is not designed with efficiency in mind. Creating some home appliances would make the project to be extremely successful in a very short time. It would bring a lot of needed cash in a very short time and it would make the project known to almost everyone in the world. Almost every family in this world needs a washing machine, a refrigerator, a stove, etc. I expressed my opinion at Talk:Rollout Plan discussion page and on the forum at Open source home appliances thread. I was thinking, in case we feel similar, maybe we can have some useful chat about the issue. Thanks. Gonzo 21:28, 25 February 2012 (CET)

I just made another forum thread at Is the plan really efficient? talking specifically about how efficient is the rollout plan. Gonzo 22:32, 25 February 2012 (CET)
