[Feedback][Pre-Val-Workshop] Usebility

[moedn]

• Is this generally a useful concept for you?
• Any dealbreakers that you've seen in the UI of OHO or OKH?
• How would you search for OSH solving your problem?
  • What would you type into the search bar?
  • What would you filter the results for?
• Apart from searching: What questions are you interested to ask to the database? (queries)
• What 'data inputs' would you expect/suggest on Wikibase?

Requested Features:

• suggestions & tags in the search bar (production metadata)
• filtering super important

[FLB-OTC]

requested filter options:

• how many built this / quality .. is the documentation complete / is the thing buildable?
• reviews; what do other people say about it
• rating
• which skills are needed
• originator information (link (github) profile & organisation)
• share button for projects (+ export for search results)

[FLB-OTC]

recommendation:

show disclaimers & warnings

[FLB-OTC]

requested input options on the frontend of the DB:

comment fields:

• e.g. by hashtags in comments: I built this for that
• I found this other wind turbine more useful
• this other module also works with it
• people that view this also view that

• general approach makes sense, but depends on the complexity of filters

--

filter for

• commercial license
• recommendations (ratings) important (someone has built and operated it)
• find projects where contributions are/can be paid
• geography (where are contributors located?); collaborate physically/locally
• when was the documentation lastly updated?

[moedn]

[Malte-Cluster]

search entry: the actual product (e.g. wind turbine)

-- comment: from the functional description

[moedn]

[Malte-Cluster]

queries: provide samples on frontend (stats and stuff)

What's the difference to OKH and OHO, why do we need LOSH?

• new field request: video (display on the project page as a trailer)

[moedn]

usage:

• drop a question/problem somewhere and having someone to help you searching on LOSH (subreddit).. community solving problems
• clarify what you're searching: module or technology or parts or use case

--

filtering:

• how old is the project
• standalone/hanging on the wall (use case)
• commercial use
• function metadata (how fast etc.)
• youtube videos
• dependencies: how many other OSH/proprietary parts involved
• references: how many times this module has been used by others or used in other machines
