CHALLENGE/TOOL – IPO tables – Document, Organize, Discover & Invent Closed Cycles

@Lars2i and me did user testing at the OSCE-Days in Berlin and collected this feedback

  • Process description with clickable links
  • how to handle tools, extra or as In & Output
    • maybe a special kind of thing
    • how to handle change of tools, e.g. dirty spoon
  • aggreate or search of process
  • graph visualisation
    • show if circle is closed
  • energie cost, CO2, manual labor, time as process costs
  • unclear interface what is process, module, what description?
  • I&O Fields with suggestions (done)
  • public APi to connect other systems
    • supply & demand
    • actors
    • open hardware sites
  • quantities for things
  • description for things
  • better example modules
  • change order of I&O on things page (done)
  • tags / categories for modules to make search better
  • wikidata as a source for things
    • has an ontology structure
    • has already things like ground coffee & used coffee grounds
  • check out systemic design and documentation systems

Two of the points we could already implement.
