Having the designs available for a variety of different things would benefit humanity in general.
If designs to manufacture a variety of useful projects were licensed under the GFDL or other "free" licenses, this would give the chance for commercial enterprises to easily enter the market. This also may allow for the items to be produced at the lowest possible cost.
This resource is simply here to promote and create easily accessible and truly open designs.
Things that would be nice to have open designs for
Some of these things might include:
- A tractor
- A harvester
- Seed planters
- Other farming implements and agricultural equipment
- Silicon and cheap (organic?... roll to roll?) solar cells
- Wind turbines
- Dish washers
- Clothes washers
- Clothes dryers
- Sinks
- Pipes
- Shirts
- Socks
- Pants
- Photovoltaics
- Cars
- Barns
- Houses
- Other buildings and Blue prints
- Machine tools
- Manufacturing equipment
- Electric motors
- Air planes
- Heavy equipment
- Microchips
- Microphones
- LCD's
- Flash memory
- RAM
- Amplifiers
- Those space-foam mattresses
