Make a concise wiki for each project to inform our group.<br>

A place for general project ideas and knowledge segments that prime the creative pump.
 
==Make Fab Lab==
Define the production-in-focus then ask:
*Who will '''participate'''?
*What is the production '''knowledge''' for construction?
*Where are the '''materials'''? Who has them freely available to contribute? (or) Where can they be found for least cost?
*How can we attract '''funding'''? Where can we attract it?
 
===Benefits for Investors (MetaMakerBenefit)===
*Your investment far exceeds the purchase price you and others will pay for a finished product. In other words, more money stays in your pocket after product aquisition. In the long run, with the MakerFocus and local "free market" economies in widespread practice, money will increase in value per monetary metric, meaning, more bang for the buck.
*Use of Fabrication Facilities are no charge by appointment to construct DIY. Your monetary investment and your Maker effort reduces cost to materials alone.
*Non-DIY means your investment generates a finished product purchased "factory direct" by you for far less than any market price. Your investment generated this savings. Current Industrial standard suspect most investors will opt for this option more often until more throughough instructive documentation or automation of assembly enhances the chain.
 
===MakerBenefit===
*Maker recieves income based on average hourly construction time.
*Maker then has incentive to reduce construction time, automating construction until "no assembly required."
 
==UnPatent==
*Reverse engineer aquisitions into Open Source
 
==Documentation==
*Document construction of designs an intelligent child can use for Making
*Use video and other multimedia for more complete communication
 
==Full Automation Fund==
Funds full automation of fabrication. Both Makers and users benefit by producing abundantly.
===Consequences===
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income Basic Income] must be in place for non or retired Makers to continue aquisition and metatool rights if material scarcity or lack of Maker volunteerism remains in the chain.
 
Further, when full automation is common place in a majority of areas of production, monetary systems, likely revised many times over, must retire onto an ethical system of use and aquisition, ideally greater than any human want or need.
