  • Mission statement:
    • Industrial [r]evolution -- reinventing manufacturing, i.e. creating a "parallel universe" (albeit temporal) of digital (and personal or maybe: low-fi, or nearby) manufacturing complementing the global make industry. Giving bac relevance to "making". Enable "people" to be makers again -- as an essential local resource in any community. Linking up those making communities across the globe.
  • Capabilities of tool:
    • directory of capabilities, needs to be "certified" in some way (probably fab central style)
    • internal "ask for help" system, could be modeled around http://www.starmind.com (am in contact with ceo) which includes (1) asking questions (including reward system), (2) commenting, (3) answering, (4) discussion of answers, (5) rating of answers and questions, which is accumulated into a community wide "karma" system
    • "sub-contracting" or "bidding" or "out-sourcing" or "tendering" system (public?)
  • Business generation:
    • freemium model for directory entry
    • micro payments in "ask for help" system
    • tendering system to pay overheads to global network
    • long tail revenue system for local production of "(almost) anything"
