Jump to: navigation, search

General strategy for open-sourcing the economy, and physical products in particular - is to examine existing access to product design:

  • Physical machines that can be examined for their mechanisms and functionality
  • Patent searches - which reveal functional mechanism but not details of actual build
  • Product manuals - these are good at exploded part diagrams or design notes
  • Specifications on websites - these reveal performance criteria for open source equivalnets
  • Knowledge embodies in SMEs and Industry organizations
  • Practical knowlege from old-timers - people who have a certain expertise
