Ambitious!
In a similar space, I wish someone would make a graph like this for materials required to produce something, for society-bootstrapping. For example, the different tools and materials required to make a functioning water well, and how to make those tools and materials.
- malka 5y agoA real life technology tree would be cool
- daenz 5y agoExactly. It could be built incrementally as well, with placeholders, until the relevant experts are consulted who can fill out the details.
- ultra_nick 5y agoLet's get it started. Anyone who's interested can star this repo now and we can start chipping away on it as we have time. https://github.com/nicholascgilpin/universal-build-tree https://github.com/nicholascgilpin/universal-build-tree
- daenz 5y agoCool! I can't promise any contributions, but I hope it succeeds. 2 things: it looks like this is a platform for generalized build/tech trees, and I think that is the right approach. I think you need a "poster child" project though, like what Wikipedia is to Mediawiki. Pick something that everyone can benefit from, for example the "civilization build tree". And start drawing attention to it, which will draw attention to engine powering it. Imo, the biggest area to focus will be reducing the barrier to entry. We're people who are comfortable with version control, but your average person isn't. The underlying software can still be version controlled, but you need a way for normal people to add/edit/remove nodes so that they can start contributing. You also need a system for inferring experts in different areas, and allowing them elevated privileges.

- spaethnl 5y agoThis project is actually on my near-term TODO list. I've been planning on implementing it as a recipe site where every ingredient is a recipe itself.
- ultra_nick 5y agoIt's also on mine. Want to team up?
- 8n4vidtmkvmk 5y agohah, i wanted to build that same thing too. but limited to food only. should have been thinking bigger. never got around to it though. good luck! hope it's as cool as it sounds
- danuker 5y agoCheck out https://www.opensourceecology.org/ https://www.opensourceecology.org/
- agumonkey 5y agoOh yes, a live gantt-like graph of everything ala lewis dartnell. Where's the kickstarter :)
