Common Problems and Solutions[edit source]

• Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings[edit source]

• If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.

1. Estimate your costs
2. Find a commercial equivalent, cite it and put the [url in square brackets]
3. Calculate $ savings and % savings

Benefited Internet Communities[edit source]

• Name and add links to at least 5 using single brackets around [url name]

References[edit source]

• The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <ref> </ref> and <references /> tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did. For example: ^[1]

Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
