The purpose of this wiki is to be a shared source of best practices, research, plans and data that is accumulated and refined over time by the user-base.

  • Logging in: To edit the wiki, you will need to request an account first. Your bio will appear on your user page.
  • No Spam!
  • Wiki Strategy
    • Do not recreate the wheel, or duplicate content on this site. Please do a search on this site before posting an article, also do a google search . If another site has already done a good job researching and developing a topic more than you planned to then just post a link to that site using wiki link syntax. Do not Link to sites that post only partial information in order to sell their book or video on the topic, unless they have published a significant article on the topic or have open source plans available online, then link directly to that article. Only link to outside articles that are significant and thourough, if the articles are weak then we need to create our own and remove the outside link. Each article should not have many links going out if the first link is significant, too many links will be moderated as spam.
    • It is good for the wiki to first go wide, then go deep, Here is a list of empty pages that need to be developed. - Wanted Pages
    • A slightly developed wiki page will at least contain a link to a well developed article on the subject from another site
    • A partially developed wiki article should be helpful in developing open source plans for implementing each technology, with parts lists, and guides to build various prototypes
    • The End Product wiki article will have full opensource plans or links to opensource plans for emplementing the technology, including parts lists, budgets, and prototype videos
    • Information will be further refined and organized as we go, so don’t be afraid to post research as you go, but do strive for clarity, brevity, quality, and please get acquainted with the existing wiki data and organization before posting. Do a search before adding a new page, it may be better to add to an existing page if there is already one made.
