Ask HN: Collaborative Tools for Building an Island Community?
I’m working on developing an eco-village / hackerspace / visionary art museum / retreat center on an Island in Panama.
I’d like to have an open design process where people can submit ideas for design, materials, governance, events, etc.
I was considering putting something on GitHub.
What tool stack should I consider using?
How would you approach it?
The island is Majagual.org and we have the entire space to create.
- brudgers 8y agoBased on the images on the web site, that seems like a lot of development for such as small site. I would suggest starting with a cap on occupant capacity and working forward from there. A small site can't be all things to all people. But it can do one thing really well. Taco truck not power center. Good luck.
- ada1981 8y agoIt’s about 100 acres. I’d like to cap around 150 people. Thanks for the insight!
- brudgers 8y ago@3000sf of development per occupant (direct usable area, services, walkways, docks, gardens, etc) that's about 10 acres. That would be a substantial fraction of the high ground on the main island.
- ada1981 8y agoI’ll clarify. I’d like to only have a max of 150 people there a few weeks a year - mostly beach glamping for a festival. Otherwise, I imagine perhaps smaller events for 20-30 people.
- brudgers 8y agoMaximum occupancy will determine the extent of development. Events also dictate capacity must handle a surge. While a stable occupancy might be served by "two boats per day", an event might require handling "two boats per hour."
