Open Know-How and An Open Source Hardware Registry As a Unifying Discoverability Mechanism for Open Source Hardware Humanitarian Engineering Projects
The report presents the research and development on portability of know-how for the use case of peer to peer sharing of designs & documentation, between July and November 2022. 2 app prototypes for file portability were developed, and user testing leads to 5 recommended next steps for further R&D. The work is funded by: NGI-DAPSI and the Sloan Foundation.
