Implementing infoboxes

The purpose of this page is to discuss comments/concerns about implementing infoboxes on Appropedia pages.

• "Backpack" Snap-fit Clips
  • EDITS: shortened description, added keywords, added status
  • TO-DO: delete duplicate description
• 2 Liter Winnower
  • EDITS: added status, added keywords, updated intended use, changed to not made (did not find evidence of model/prototype, just design)
• 3-D printable open source dual axis gimbal system for optoelectronic measurements
  • EDITS: changed description, added keywords to inbox
  • CONCERN: should status be "verified" or "verified technology" (or something else)
• 3-D printable photovoltaic module spacer
  • EDITS: added status, added keywords, shortened description
• 3-D printable solar charger
  • EDITS: added keywords, added status, added more SDGS
  • CONCERN: intended use --> development and industry work but this could be used at home as well (not really hobbyism though)--> added "individual use" (open to changing--> maybe personal device?)
• 3-D Printing Solar Photovoltaic Racking in Developing World
  • EDITS: added status, shortened description, added to intended use
• 3D Print Speculum
  • EDITS: added status, shortened description, added to intended use, added keywords
• 3D Printable Cider Press
  • EDITS: added status, changed description, changed intended use, added keywords, changed to 'made'

To expedite editing, I will no longer list simple edits made, only concerns...

• Bike rack
  • Concern: this page does not have any design files, images, or design descriptions, so I listed the project status as an "Idea" rather than "Design" (no evidence of a design)
• Clamps with gearing system
  • Concern: I removed the verified status due to lack of evidence
• Dust Mask
  • Concern: This page has the following status levels listed: designed, prototyped, deployed, modeled, verified. I do not see evidence of anything past prototyped, so I removed deployed and verified. (Open to changing this back).
• GPS Belt Clip, Improved GPS Belt Clip, Ice Scraper, Modified Spork Design, Open sustainability
  • Concern: Unsure if any SDGs relate
• Micro Lathe
  • I removed verified status.
• Minnow Trap
  • Design files not present/ no evidence of a prototype. There is a CAD image, but no file. I removed prototype status and listed as open design; however, should I change to idea?
• Micro Lathe
  • There are two pages from the same creator; I edited the one with more information... should we delete the other?
  • Resolved: Similar to the modular hand held arm pages (discussed below), I included a link to the more complete design in the preliminary design's description
• Modular Coral Regrowth Post
  • All of the image/file links are broken :/
  • Can we contact creator? Seems like a very interesting and important design!
  • For now, I do not have a development stage listed.
• Modular hand held arm with "Backsaver" grip attachment and "Leaf Claws" & Modular hand held arm with "Backsaver" grip attachment"
  • I believe the latter was a preliminary version of the former... same creator and same description; however, the first page includes design files, images, and more info
  • On the preliminary page, I included a link to the more complete page in the description. I filled in the other categories to be the same as the more complete page, but perhaps I should have left them blank?
• Spoon Fork Knife
  • I find the wording used to be prejudiced of developing countries. Not all developing countries only eat with their hands.
• Starter Handle
  • Design files/prototype pictures are not included, so I'm giving "idea" status
• Umbilical Cord Clip and Umbilical Cord Clamp
  • Same picture used but different creator...

• I have focused on editing/adding to description, intended use, keywords, development stage, made, and SDGs.
• Intended uses that I added: agriculture, transportation, medical, shelter, energy, cooking
• It is helpful to have a concise description
  • should be an edited down version of the abstract rather than the entire abstract
• There should be proof of prototype existence (ie photo of print) to be given prototype status
• There should be proof of outside verification and/or data from creator's tests to be given verified status
• Made-Independently
  • To clarify, this means that someone other than the creator made the technology using the creator's design
  • Most of the pages have been incorrect
  • We should consider adding definition on form page.
• SDG category
  • I noticed there was a change in the form-- you can now select goals from drop down menu (ie "SDG01")
  • Prior to this, I had been writing goals in longhand (ie "Sustainable Development Goal 1")
  • Will this be an issue in distinguishing all of the projects that fall under specific goals?
  • Issue tested: The SDG09 category does not add to the SDG09 Industry innovation and infrastructure project list; however, SDG11 adds to the SDG11 Sustainable cities and communities project list
