The scope of the directory encompasses every form of design, including of hardware and physical production, that can benefit from peer production and open design methodologies.

Goals: the larger context is how to handle a broad shift from centralized, high capital production to decentralized, low capital production, preferably based on open designs.

Our aims are therefore also congruent with the Open Sustainability Network movement, as expressed in the Standarrd blog and platform.

Therefore, this section will be:

1) monitoring the progress towards a world of constant social innovation based on open designs; 2) monitoring the expansion of open sourcing in the physical world 3) monitoring the field of emerging solutions in the field of social organization such as Global Villages and Localization trends.
