Description
We are farmer scientists - working to develop a world class research center for decentralization technologies using open source permaculture and technology to work together for providing basic needs and self replicating the entire operation at the cost of scrap metal. We seek societal transformation through interconnected self-sufficient villages and homes. This is a stepping stone to transcending survival and evolving to freedom. Factor e Farm is the land-based facility where we put this theory, Open Source Ecology, into practice. MoreLatest YouTube video

Interesting ideas. I don’t know of anything quite like it.

Great work guys, I can’t wait to see some bricks being laid! It’s very exciting to see all this come to fruition. Marcin, while ambitious as ever, should think twice about getting a loan. Stick to the current funding model with the help of the true fans that have donated so much. The last thing I would like to see is Factor E Farm foreclosed on because they can’t make their loan payments to some bank…

Sharpening my knife here, cos I see how we’ll soon be able to start creating the parallel wikipages to translate the documentation into, say, 20+ languages?
It needs to gel up just a little bit. Once the “building” pages for a given tool stabilise, it’s just a matter of replicating the tree into the target language, add a “glossary” page to help translators, and start working on the translations (titles, pictures, then text).
I think I’ll want to do (with help) CEB Press – Spanish. If someone wants to start say Power Cube in German, or whatever, then we’d gain even more experience in how this is done.
In short, if documentation is the 51st tool, then translation is the 52nd, so let’s prototype that as well!
I have some initial thoughts here: http://imaginethecanaries.blogspot.com/2011/10/translations-as-part-of-documentation.html (feel free to copy, refine and improve – public domain learning FTW!)
