Wigwams we want:
- affordable DIY motor vehicles
- a dirt-simple OS for practical use and reuse
- tools/guides for "kit" homes that can be constructed from nearby materials, e.g. how to clear patch of forest and build cabin with lumber
- a simple alternative to github, and maybe even git
- tools for converting suburban sprawl into human-scale walkable infrastructure
- simple/predictable query languages and databases (email me for ideas)
- a simple, open search engine
- scalable diy paper production and printing presses
- expressive but small visual markup languages
- kits/guides for making everyday clothes out of fabric and scraps
- alternative to YouTube that smells more like podcasts than cryptocurrency (email me for ideas)
goals
- promote "slow tech" over hype
- organize project landscape by goals

- keep projects on-schedule and within budget
