Is it going to be similar to Open Source Ecology? Will it be only for
reviewing or will it provide tools for creation?
If so, what kind of tools do you think are needed? Something similar to
Extension:WorkingWiki?

It's in development, launching this week.
You're welcome to join us to
help.
Yes, we need contributors of technical knowledge and content. Coders,
designers, editors.
Please contact me at guy _att_ wikineering _dot_ org, let me know how you
can help.

Is a website for Wikineering up and running that one can peek at?
Well, if I may ask, contributors of content and/or technical knowledge?
i.e, coding, designers, etc
Thanks

Hey Everyone!
I'm glad you all enjoyed the conference!
We're launching a new collaboration called Wikineering, wiki engineering,
and need your help.
While so far, the wiki has been used to collectively organize knowledge
repositories, Wikineering will put MediaWiki to use as a tool that allows
the world to collaboratively create and improve specifications for new
products and services. If the world could come together to wikineer
meaningful new products and services that do not exist, it would change
itself for the better. The vision is simple: Engineering built the 20th
Century. Wikineering will build the 21st Century.
We are looking to launch Wikineering in the coming days based on
MediaWiki and need your help. If you're good at MediaWiki development or
customization, or at editing entries as a Wikipedian, please join us. There
is a short term and long term roadmap to make this a reality and we could
use your help.
The first project that will be collaboratively wikineered is the
supersonic Hyperloop transportation system that was proposed yesterday by
Tesla founder Elon Musk. The Hyperloop received exposure to millions of
people yesterday and Musk invited everyone to contribute to the Hyperloop
design. However, only thing that is missing to enable everyone to
contribute to the design is a platform for collective engineering like
Wikineering. So -- join us and we will build it!
To make wiki engineering practical requires new extensions and
customization of MediaWiki. If you join us to contribute to the development
of Wikineering we can together make it a reality and we will kick start a
new movement that could literally change the world by allowing it to change
itself. Wikineering is not a fly by night idea. A number of us --
inventors, engineers and academics at MIT -- have been thinking about the
principles for successful collective engineering for a few years now. We
now believe we know what it takes to make wiki practical for the collective
engineering process and need your help to make it a reality!
Everyone are welcome to contribute. Contact me at guy _att_ wikineering
_dot_ org to help.
