Open-Sourcing Industry Standards
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
