Description

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

Comments

  • 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 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?)
  • 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)
  • 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).

General Comments

  • 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
    • Or, does it mean that the design is not unique and has been made before?
    • If it's the former, I don't believe the pages are all correct-- pretty much all prototypes would not have been made independently at this point
    • I've occasionally removed the yes, but have not been consistently focusing on this category. I'm definitely willing to go back and update all of the pages once I fully understand
