Greetings @humbitious we had contact on twitter about:

Creating a epic "Baseline solution that engineers always have the right and newest construction drawing on the cloud and not make the fault to select a older one for taking with them in the field"

Putting a team together of people familair in the industry working with developers to create a solution for: Autodesk /Autocad / Fusion 360 / Revit / AEC

Problem technical drawings are now often put on the cloud by hand and engineers working with the drawings have a big chance they select the wrong and old revision drawing in to the field and enlarge construction errors.

Would like to add an EPIC in the same vain as the current EDI one but with XML/defined XSD and an authenticated Non repudiation chain digest for facilitating B2B messaging

[humbitious]

Let's talk about this on the SSC call.

I'm hoping to join the call today for the first time. I might be able to help with this epic. I'm involved with https://www.constructionblockchain.org/ and Autodesk are one of our partner organisations. We could also get Bentley Systems involved.

Quick note: The the technical drawing revisions, do not need to be only for construction, other examples are collaboration on engineering, land division / registry approval.

Announcing an effort to redesign the current Baseline smart contracts to a) allow for L2 scaling solutions b) support extensible setup and circuits -- utilizing PLONK, a new SNORK c) support multiple workgroups through the introduction of proxy contracts by adapting the current zksynch implementation from Mattr Labs https://github.com/matter-labs/zksync/blob/master/docs/protocol.md

Looking for collaborators on this effort.
